Opportunity Summary:
The Institute for Historical Editing grant opportunity is a discretionary program offered by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) within the National Archives and Records Administration. Its main purpose is to strengthen the field of historical documentary editing by funding projects that improve the training and education of people who are preparing to become historical editors or who are already working as historical editors. The program is designed to support organized training efforts, and the institute model can include both introductory (basic) instruction and more specialized (advanced) instruction, depending on the applicant's plan and the needs of the profession.
A key limitation is that the program is not meant to fund individuals seeking support for their own personal training, education, or professional advancement. Applications that are essentially individual fellowship-style requests are explicitly ineligible and will not be reviewed. Applicants are expected to align their proposals with NHPRC funding rules and restrictions, including those described in the agency's "What we do and do not fund" guidance. Funded projects must also acknowledge NHPRC assistance in any publications or other products that result from the grant.
The funding is relatively concentrated: NHPRC expects to make a single award in this category, with total available funding up to $275,000. Typical project periods run from one to three years, and the award ceiling is $275,000 (with no stated minimum award amount). The opportunity is listed under CFDA 89.003, National Historical Publications and Records Grants, and falls under the humanities activity area (noted as cultural affairs in CFDA terms). Because only one award is anticipated, proposals are effectively competing for a single national-level grant.
Eligible applicants include a range of organizations rather than individuals. Specifically, eligible entities include nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, colleges and universities (both public and private institutions of higher education), and state, county, and local government agencies (including city or township governments). Federally recognized Native American tribal governments are eligible, and the narrative also notes federally acknowledged or state-recognized Native American tribes or groups. The application must come from an organization that can manage the project and finances at an institutional level.
There are important administrative prerequisites. Applicant organizations must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) before submitting an application and must maintain an active SAM registration throughout the application and award process. The application must include a valid DUNS number (as required at the time of this announcement). The notice emphasizes that ineligible applications will not be reviewed, so meeting the eligibility and registration requirements is a baseline threshold rather than a competitive advantage.
Cost sharing is required, but NHPRC indicates flexibility in how it can be met. The Commission may fund up to 100 percent of the direct costs of the project, but not including program revenue. Cost sharing can include program revenue, the grantee's indirect costs, and any additional direct costs paid by the applicant. In practice, this means an institute can combine NHPRC funds with registration fees or other revenue, institutional support, indirect cost contributions, or other non-federal resources to satisfy the matching expectation, as long as the budget structure follows NHPRC rules.
This specific posting (Funding Opportunity Number EDITING 201303) was originally posted and created on November 30, 2012, with an application deadline of March 7, 2013, and an archive date of April 6, 2013.
