Opportunity Summary:
The DFG/NEH Bilateral Symposia and Workshops grant opportunity is a joint program run by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) in the United States and the German Research Foundation (DFG) in Germany to support collaborative work in the digital humanities. The program is designed specifically to fund bilateral symposia or workshops that bring together participants from both countries, with the bigger aim of strengthening long-term cooperation between U.S. and German digital humanities communities. A major emphasis is on building shared expertise and expanding professional networks by creating structured opportunities for interaction among senior scholars, early-career researchers, scientists, librarians, information professionals, and others engaged in humanities work that uses digital methods.
A core requirement is that every proposed symposium or workshop must be genuinely collaborative and jointly led. Each application must be backed by one eligible U.S. institution and one German individual partner, and the project must name a project director from each country. The partners are expected to develop one unified project concept and prepare a single, jointly written application package. Even though NEH and DFG each publish their own version of the guidelines on their websites, the content requirements for the application package itself are intended to match across both agencies. Where differences come up, they mainly reflect administrative and procedural rules specific to each country rather than differences in what the project must propose or accomplish.
The submission process is split across the two agencies in a coordinated way. The U.S. partner submits the application to NEH through Grants.gov, while the German partner submits corresponding materials to DFG through postal service, with an additional PDF submission by email encouraged. Proposals are expected to go beyond describing a research theme: they also need to explain why the U.S.-German partnership is essential, what each side contributes, and how the planned event(s) will address important issues in the digital humanities using practical, workable approaches. In other words, reviewers are looking for a clear rationale for bilateral collaboration and a well-organized plan for convening the right people around focused digital humanities questions.
In terms of funding details, this was a discretionary grant program in the humanities administered through NEH's Office of Digital Humanities (CFDA 45.169). The opportunity anticipated making about five awards, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility on the U.S. side includes a range of public and nonprofit entities, such as 501(c)(3) nonprofits (including those other than higher education institutions), public and private institutions of higher education, and various levels of government including state, county, city/township, special district, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The original posting date was August 27, 2009, with an application deadline of October 29, 2009.
For official guidance and program specifics, the announcement pointed applicants to the NEH program page and directed program questions to NEH's Office of Digital Humanities staff via odh@neh.gov, including the option to request a phone call by providing a number and preferred time.
