Opportunity Summary:
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Preservation and Access Education and Training grant program supports education and training efforts that strengthen the ability of cultural institutions to preserve and provide access to humanities collections. The program is built around a practical reality: libraries, archives, museums, and historical organizations across the United States are responsible for enormous and highly diverse holdings, ranging from books and manuscripts to photographs, audiovisual materials, archaeological and ethnographic artifacts, works of art and material culture, and both electronic and born-digital records. Because these collections vary widely in format and preservation needs, and because the volume of material is so large, institutions face ongoing challenges that require staff with specialized, up-to-date knowledge.
This opportunity funds organizations that deliver national or regional (multistate) education and training programs designed to improve preservation and access practice across the field. The core purpose is workforce development for the cultural heritage sector: helping staff at large and small institutions build the skills needed to serve as effective stewards of humanities collections. In addition to mid-career training for current professionals, the program also supports educational pathways that prepare the next generation of conservators and preservation specialists. It further encourages projects that introduce cultural institution staff to new information, emerging standards, and advances in preservation and access methods, including approaches relevant to digital objects and electronic records.
The funding instrument is a discretionary grant under CFDA 45.149 (Promotion of the Humanities) and is administered through NEHs Division of Preservation and Access. Awards range from as little as 1 dollar up to a ceiling of $350,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed for this opportunity. Eligible applicants include a broad set of public and nonprofit entities, including nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (with the noted exception category for institutions of higher education), public and private institutions of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and local, county, state, special district, and city or township governments.
For the specific posting reflected in the source data (Funding Opportunity Number 20140501-PE), the opportunity was posted on February 25, 2014, with an application deadline of May 1, 2014 (original and current closing date both May 1, 2014).
