Opportunity Summary:
The Preservation and Access Education and Training Grants program is a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) funding opportunity designed to strengthen the preservation and accessibility of the nation s cultural heritage by investing in people and skills. Across the United States, libraries, archives, museums, and historical organizations care for wide-ranging humanities collections, including rare books and manuscripts, photographs, audio recordings, film and video, archaeological and ethnographic materials, artworks and other material culture, as well as electronic records and born-digital content. Because these collections are both massive in scale and highly varied in format, preserving them and ensuring public access requires specialized, up-to-date expertise. This program addresses that need by supporting education and training initiatives that help cultural institution staff build practical competence in preservation and access work and keep pace with evolving standards, tools, and best practices.
At its core, the grant supports projects that develop or deliver training for current and future preservation professionals. That includes hands-on and skills-based learning for staff at cultural organizations of any size, from small local historical societies to large research libraries. It also includes educational programs that prepare the next generation of conservators and preservation specialists, helping to build a workforce capable of caring for humanities collections over the long term. In addition, the program encourages training efforts that introduce practitioners to new information, emerging research, and advances in preservation and access practices, reflecting the reality that preservation is not static and must adapt to new media types, new risks, and new methods for providing access.
This is a discretionary grant program in the humanities administered through NEH s Division of Preservation and Access and associated with CFDA number 45.149 (Promotion of the Humanities). NEH anticipated making around 20 awards under this competition cycle. The stated award ceiling is $500,000, and there is no specified award floor, which suggests proposals could range from smaller, focused training efforts to larger, multi-part or multi-institutional programs. No cost sharing or matching is required, lowering a common barrier to entry for organizations that may have limited ability to provide cash or in-kind match.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of public and nonprofit entities that typically steward humanities collections or provide professional training. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, state governments, local governments (city or township and county), special district governments, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. This range signals that NEH intended the program to reach both collection-holding institutions and educational or consortial organizations positioned to deliver training to the field.
For the specific cycle referenced, the opportunity was posted on March 25, 2010, with an application closing date of July 1, 2010, and an archive date of July 31, 2010. The funding opportunity number is 20100701-PE. Additional program details and guidelines were provided through NEH s website at http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/pet.html. Applicants needing help accessing the announcement were directed to contact NEH s Preservation and Access Education and Training staff at the Division of Preservation and Access, Room 411, National Endowment for the Humanities, 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20506, by phone at 202 606 8570, or by email at preservation@neh.gov.
