RFP – WWII Home Front Working Group

Deadline Extended to Friday, September 10, 2021

Via our cooperative agreement with the National Park Service (NPS), the National Council on Public History seeks two historians with subject matter expertise on the World War II home front or 20th century U.S. history to facilitate a working group that will convene representatives of NPS sites related to the World War II Home Front for sustained conversation and connect them with home front scholars outside NPS. An iteration of this working group will convene virtually in the fall and meet in-person or virtually concurrently with NCPH’s annual meeting in the spring for the next three years (spring 2022, spring 2023, and spring 2024). While ideally at least one of the two facilitators will see the project through for the full three years to provide continuity (with $27,000 compensation over three years), we anticipate some turnover in working group participation from year to year. For this reason, we ask prospective facilitators to let us know what your ideal commitment would be; you can indicate interest for just this year or for multiple years.

 Please read the full narrative for a description of the project’s scope of work and timeline, as well as instructions for submitting your letter of interest and more information about the NCPH working group format.
