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
