Opportunity Summary:
Scholarly Editions and Translations Grants are a discretionary grant program from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) that funds the preparation of high-quality scholarly editions and translations of pre-existing texts and documents that matter to the humanities but are not currently accessible to readers or are only available in flawed, incomplete, outdated, or otherwise inadequate editions. The program is designed to help make important source materials usable for researchers, students, and the broader public by supporting the work needed to establish reliable texts and produce authoritative translations. While many supported projects focus on major literary, philosophical, and historical works, the program is not limited to those categories and can also support other humanities-relevant materials, including items such as musical notation, as long as the work clearly contributes to humanistic scholarship and access.
A key requirement is that projects must be carried out by a team, not a single person. At minimum, the team must include at least one editor or translator plus at least one additional staff member, reflecting NEH's expectation that producing a rigorous edition or translation requires collaboration, review, and sustained project management. Grant funds can support either full-time or part-time work, and project periods may last from one to three years, allowing applicants to propose a timeline that matches the scope and complexity of their editorial or translation tasks.
The award amount can range from as little as 1 dollar up to a maximum (ceiling) of $300,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award. The funding opportunity is associated with CFDA number 45.161 (Promotion of the Humanities - Research) and falls under the broad funding activity category of Humanities.
Eligibility is broad and includes individuals as well as a wide range of organizations and government entities. Eligible applicants include federally recognized Native American tribal governments; nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3), provided they are not institutions of higher education in the specific category listed); public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; and units of government such as city or township governments, county governments, state governments, and special district governments. This wide eligibility is intended to accommodate the many institutional settings where editorial and translation projects are housed, from universities and libraries to independent scholars and cultural organizations.
For the specific announcement referenced, the funding opportunity number is 20141209-RQ. The opportunity was posted on October 3, 2014, with an application deadline of December 9, 2014 (both the original and current closing dates are listed as December 9, 2014).
