Opportunity Information: Apply for 20210302 HT
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), through its Office of Digital Humanities, is offering grant support through the "Institutes for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities" program (Funding Opportunity Number 20210302 HT). This is a discretionary grant program designed to fund intensive training institutes that help scholars, humanities professionals, and advanced graduate students strengthen and expand their skills in digital humanities. The central idea is to build capacity in the humanities by giving participants structured, high-level opportunities to learn advanced digital tools, methods, and approaches that can be applied directly to humanities research, teaching, curation, and public-facing work.
The program focuses on supporting national or regional (meaning multistate) training efforts rather than purely local workshops. In practice, that means the proposed institute should have a scope and recruitment plan that reaches beyond a single campus or city, attracting participants from across multiple states or from around the country. NEH is aiming for programs that not only teach participants how to use technology, but also help them understand how to apply digital methods thoughtfully to humanities questions. Another major goal is dissemination: NEH wants the knowledge shared in these institutes to spread beyond the immediate attendees, increasing the overall number of humanities practitioners who can confidently use digital technology and encouraging wider adoption of advanced tools and methodologies across the field.
Eligible applicants include a wide range of organizations that commonly lead large training programs: public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education institutions). Government entities are also eligible, including state, county, city or township governments, special district governments, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. This range of eligible applicants reflects the reality that digital humanities training can be hosted by universities, libraries, museums, archives, consortia, scholarly organizations, and other public-serving institutions with the ability to convene participants and deliver sustained instruction.
The funding activity category is Humanities (with reference to Cultural Affairs in CFDA), and the associated CFDA number is 45.169. Awards under this opportunity have an upper funding limit (award ceiling) of $250,000, and NEH anticipated making about five awards. The opportunity was posted with a creation date of October 30, 2020, and the original application closing date was March 2, 2021. Overall, the grant supports well-designed, high-impact institutes that can demonstrate strong instructional content, a clear need in the field, the ability to recruit and serve participants at a national or multistate level, and a plan for ensuring that the institute's training and resources have lasting value and reach beyond the institute itself.Apply for 20210302 HT
