Opportunity Summary:
The Preservation and Access Education and Training Grants program, offered by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), supports education and training initiatives that strengthen the ability of cultural institutions to preserve and provide access to humanities collections. Across the United States, libraries, archives, museums, and historical organizations care for an enormous range of materials, including rare books and manuscripts, photographs, audio recordings, film and video, archaeological and ethnographic objects, fine art and material culture, electronic records, and born-digital content. Because these holdings are both extensive and diverse, the technical and professional demands of caring for them are significant, and the program is designed to address the ongoing need for well-prepared staff and emerging professionals.
These grants are awarded to organizations that run national or regional training programs, with the key requirement that the intended audience spans more than one state. The focus is not on supporting a single institution's internal training, but on broader programs that can build preservation and access capacity across the field. Projects supported by this opportunity typically aim to help staff at institutions of many types and sizes gain practical knowledge and skills so they can act as responsible stewards of humanities collections. The program also emphasizes workforce development by funding educational efforts that prepare the next generation of preservation professionals, while also helping current practitioners stay up to date by introducing new tools, research, and advances in preservation and access practices.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant opportunity in the humanities funding category (CFDA 45.149). Eligible applicants include a wide range of public and private entities, such as state, county, and local governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private colleges and universities; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; and nonprofit organizations, including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The opportunity referenced was posted on March 10, 2016, with an application deadline of May 3, 2016, and it listed an award ceiling of $440,000.
