Professional Development Grants for Archives and Historical Publishing: The National Historical Publications and Records Commission seeks proposals to improve the training and education of professionals in the archival and historical publishing communities. Projects can be for professional education curriculum development; for basic and advanced institutes; or research seminars. Surveys, focus groups, and other activities to understand these professions and their educational and training needs are also eligible. This program does not support requests from individuals for their own training, education, or professional advancement. The Commission expects to announce this opportunity twice this year. A grant normally is for one to three years and up to $100,000. The Commission expects to make up to 5 grants in this category, for a total of up to $200,000 during the two rounds in a fiscal year. The Commission ordinarily provides no more than 50 percent of total project costs for Professional Development projects. Cost sharing is the financial contribution the applicant pledges to the cost of a project. Cost sharing can include both direct and indirect expenses, in-kind contributions, non-Federal third-party contributions, and any income earned directly by the project.
