Opportunity Summary:
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), through its Office of Digital Humanities, offers Digital Humanities Implementation Grants to support digital humanities projects that are ready to move beyond early experimentation and into full implementation and broad use. The focus is on projects that have already completed a successful start-up or prototype phase, demonstrated clear value to the field, and are now positioned to deliver a major, sustained impact. In practical terms, this program is meant for teams that can show their concept works and is worth scaling, refining, and deploying in a way that meaningfully serves humanities research, teaching, cultural heritage work, or public engagement.
The opportunity is open to digital initiatives in any area of the humanities, and it welcomes projects designed for multiple audiences, including scholars, teachers, librarians, students, and the general public. NEH explicitly notes that applications from recipients of NEH Digital Humanities Start-Up Grants are welcome, but prior NEH funding is not described as a requirement. What distinguishes this program from the Start-Up Grants program is the intent: Start-Up Grants emphasize basic research, prototyping, experimentation, and testing potential impact, while Implementation Grants emphasize executing a proven approach, strengthening it, and putting it into real-world use at a level that can influence the field.
NEH describes a wide range of project types that fit this program. Eligible work can include research that introduces new approaches in digital humanities or documents best practices; the implementation of computational methods and techniques for humanities research; the implementation and deployment of new digital tools for research, public programming, or education; and projects focused on completing and sustaining existing digital resources, often in partnership with libraries or archives. The program also supports humanistic scholarship about digital culture itself, such as studies of the history, criticism, and philosophy of digital culture and its societal impact, as well as scholarship examining the practical or philosophical implications of emerging technologies within specific humanities disciplines or across interdisciplinary collaborations. Another eligible area is implementing new digital modes of scholarly communication, including systems that enable peer review, collaboration, and dissemination of humanities scholarship to different audiences.
Funding is provided as a discretionary grant under the humanities funding category (CFDA 45.169, Promotion of the Humanities). The award amount ranges from $100,000 to $325,000, with an expected total of about five awards. The listing indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posted and created date for this specific announcement is November 26, 2013, with a closing date of February 19, 2014 (original and current closing dates match in the source data). The funding opportunity number is 20140219-HK, and the opportunity title is Digital Humanities Implementation Grants.
Eligibility is broad and includes public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status and those without, other than institutions of higher education), and various government entities such as state, county, city or township, and special district governments. Federally recognized Native American tribal governments are also eligible applicants. This range of eligible applicants aligns with the program emphasis on projects that may be anchored in universities, libraries, archives, museums, or other public-facing institutions capable of maintaining and sustaining digital work over time.
