Grant Description

These grants support research and development projects that address major challenges in preserving or providing intellectual access to humanities resources. Applicants should define a specific problem, devise procedures and potential solutions, and evaluate findings. Successful proposals ought to have broad applicability to the humanities. NEH encourages applications that will explore new uses of digital technology in the humanities. Eligible projects might: * develop technical standards, best practices, and tools for preserving and creating access to humanities collections; * explore more effective scientific and technical methods of preserving humanities collections; * develop new procedures to create reference works; or * improve the policies and practices of humanities research institutions affecting preservation and access on a national level. Applicants should confer with other professionals in their field to ensure that their research will address problems whose solution is critical to making progress in that field or would be broadly applicable to humanities materials. Projects to develop standards or procedures should be guided by a committee representative of the profession to ensure that they are comprehensive and acceptable. A project whose primary activity involves the digitization of materials or the creation of a database is not eligible for a research and development grant, even if it might ultimately be a model for similar efforts. Applicants proposing such projects should consider grants to preserve and create access to collections or reference materials grants.
