National Endowment for the Humanities and Institute of Museum and Library Services Invite Grant Applications for New Digital Innovation Program

The Institute of Museum and Library Services and the National Endowment for the Humanities invite applications to a new digital humanities grant competition. The new program, "Advancing Knowledge: The IMLS/NEH Digital Partnership," seeks applications for innovative, collaborative humanities projects using the latest digital technologies for the benefit of the American public, humanities scholarship, and the nation’s cultural community.

Through this new partnership, NEH and IMLS will help teachers, scholars, museums, and libraries take advantage of developing technology. Successful projects funded through this partnership will explore new ways to share, examine, and interpret humanities collections in a digital environment and develop new uses and audiences for existing digital resources.

Any U.S. nonprofit organization with 501(c)3 tax exempt status is eligible, as are state and local governmental agencies and tribal governments. Individuals are not eligible to apply. Collaboration is a requirement of the program, and an application must include at least one library, museum, or archive as an integral member of the project team to be eligible. Potential partners could also include universities, state humanities councils and other cultural organizations, or private-sector organizations, as appropriate.

Awards normally are for two years and typically range from $50,000 to a maximum of $350,000 each.

Nonprofit institutions interested in applying can find guidelines at the NEH Web site.
