The Division of Preservation and Access of the National Endowment for the 
Humanities will be accepting applications for grants in Humanities Collections 
and Resources. These grants support projects to preserve and create 
intellectual access to such collections as books, journals, manuscript and 
archival materials, maps, still and moving images, sound recordings, art, and 
objects of material culture. Awards also support the creation of reference 
materials, online resources, and research tools of major importance to the 
humanities. 

Please note the following changes:

--The application receipt deadline this year is July 31, 2008.

--Research and Development applications are being accepted and should be 
identified as such and submitted to the July 31 deadline for Humanities 
Collections and Resources.

--Projects proposing to unify, integrate, or aggregate humanities collections 
and resources are strongly encouraged.

--Long-term projects without a plan to sustain the resources created by the 
project may allocate up to $50,000 of their request for consultants' fees or 
other costs associated with developing a sustainability plan.

The new guidelines, which include sample proposal narratives, can be found at 
http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/Collections_and_Resources.html.  The 
application receipt deadline of July 31 is for projects beginning May 2009. All 
applications to NEH must be submitted through Grants.gov, using new Acrobat 
forms.  This requires the use of Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.1.1 or 8.1.2.  See the 
application guidelines for details.

Prospective applicants seeking further information are encouraged to contact 
the Division at 202-606-8570 or [log in to unmask] Program staff will read 
draft proposals submitted six weeks before the deadline.
