Opportunity Information: Apply for P20AS00090
The Lyndon B. Johnson Environmental Legacy grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P20AS00090) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding announcement administered by the Department of the Interior. It uses a cooperative agreement, which means the project is expected to be carried out with active involvement and collaboration from NPS staff rather than operating as a hands-off pass-through award. The opportunity sits at the intersection of education and natural resources (CFDA 15.954), with a clear emphasis on environmental learning connected to place, parks, and local landscapes.
The project described centers on a partnership between the Teacher Learning Center at Teton Science Schools (TSS) and the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Site. The core idea is to develop and expand an "LBJ Environmental Legacy" program by combining the educational expertise of TSS with the site-based resources, interpretive themes, and community connections of the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Site. The work is framed as both partnership-building and program exploration, suggesting an iterative approach where relationships, curriculum concepts, and delivery methods are developed alongside one another.
The proposed work is organized into two phases. Phase one focuses on building a rural place-based learning consortium in the Central Texas Hill Country. In practical terms, this implies convening and coordinating a network of local or regional partners (for example, schools, educators, community organizations, and possibly conservation or land stewardship groups) who share a commitment to using local environments and cultural landscapes as the foundation for learning. The consortium model is meant to create a durable structure for collaboration so that place-based education is not limited to a single event or classroom, but becomes a shared regional effort tied to the park site and its surrounding communities.
Phase two shifts from building the partnership infrastructure to direct educator support through a series of teacher workshops. These workshops are intended to help teachers integrate the LBJ Environmental Legacy concept into everyday curriculum using place-based learning strategies. The emphasis on "every day curriculum" signals that the goal is not simply occasional field trips, but sustained classroom integration where local ecology, land use, history, and stewardship themes become recurring anchors for lessons across the school year. While the announcement does not list specific subjects, place-based learning in this context commonly supports science and environmental education, social studies and history, and cross-disciplinary skills such as observation, inquiry, and community problem-solving.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status that are not institutions of higher education. The announcement anticipates a single award with an award ceiling of $23,760, indicating a relatively small, focused project scope designed to seed collaboration, pilot professional development, and build a foundation for longer-term programming rather than fund large-scale implementation. The opportunity was created on June 30, 2020, with an original closing date of July 10, 2020, reinforcing that it was a time-bound solicitation intended to select one partner organization for a targeted cooperative effort with NPS.
Overall, the grant opportunity is best understood as a capacity-building and educator-development initiative tied to the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Site. Its intended outcome is a stronger regional network for rural place-based education in the Texas Hill Country and a set of teacher learning experiences that translate the "LBJ Environmental Legacy" into practical classroom use, grounded in the local landscape and supported through direct collaboration between the nonprofit partner and the National Park Service.Apply for P20AS00090
