Grant Description

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) in the United States and the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE)of the United Kingdom acting through the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) in the United Kingdom are working together to offer support for digitization projects in the humanities. These grants provide funding for one year of development in any of the following areas: new digitization projects and pilot projects, the addition of important materials to existing digitization projects, or the development of infrastructure (either technical "middleware," tools, or knowledge-sharing) to support U.S.-England digitization work. Collaboration between U.S. and English institutions is a key requirement for this grant category, based in part on the recommendations for international collaboration in Professor Sir Gareth Roberts's "International Partnerships of Research Excellence U.K.-U.S.A Academic Collaboration" (http://www.wolfson.ox.ac.uk/UK-US-Academic-Collaboration/GarethRobertsIPoREx.pdf -- 25-page PDF) and the report of the American Council for Learned Societies' Commission on Cyberinfrastructure for the Humanities and Social Sciences(http://www.acls.org/cyberinfrastructure/OurCulturalCommonwealth.pdf -- 51-page PDF.) Each application must be sponsored by both an eligible U.S. and English institution (see Eligibility requirements below), and there must be a project director from each institution. The partners will collaborate to write a single application package, which the U.S. partner will submit to the NEH (via Grants.gov) and the English partner will submit to JISC (via e-mail). All potential applicants should note that while JISC and NEH each host a version of the guidelines on their respective Web sites, the requirements for the application package as outlined in Section V of the program guidelines are identical. However, each set of guidelines do contain some variations in grant administration procedures to be followed by successful applicants, reflecting local administrative and organizational requirements of either country. Applications should explain the need for the U.S.-England partnership and provide workable solutions to some of the issues of managing and developing transatlantic collections.
