Opportunity Information: Apply for PUBLISHING 201106
The National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) is inviting proposals for grants aimed at publishing historical records of national significance. Proposals can concentrate on the papers of significant American figures or on broader historical movements in various fields such as politics, military, business, and the arts. The historical importance and anticipated usefulness to wide audiences must justify the project's costs.
Grants can cover activities like collecting, compiling, preserving, and publishing documentary source materials, with a strong emphasis on projects that plan to make their results available as free online resources. It is important to note that the NHPRC does not fund the preparation of critical editions unless they form a minor part of a larger endeavor.
The application process is competitive, and previous NHPRC grant recipients can apply for funding for subsequent stages of their projects, provided they include plans for online publication. New applicants can also seek funding to initiate a historical document publishing project, focusing initially on online editions, though they can publish in other formats as well.
Grants are typically awarded for a period of up to three years, with amounts ranging between $20,000 and $250,000 annually. The NHPRC expects to award around 30 grants in this category, with total funding potentially reaching $4 million. Notably, cost-sharing is expected, and the NHPRC generally covers no more than 50 percent of total project costs. All grantees must acknowledge NHPRC support in any resulting publications. Federal regulations grant the NHPRC a royalty-free, non-exclusive, and irrevocable license to use and reproduce the works funded by these grants.Apply for PUBLISHING 201106
