The Research and Development program from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) supports projects that address major challenges in preserving or providing access to humanities collections and resources. This program supports projects at all stages of development, from early planning and stand-alone studies to advanced implementation. Research and Development projects contribute to the evolving and expanding body of knowledge for heritage practitioners, and for that reason, outcomes may take many forms. Projects may produce any combination of laboratory datasets, guidelines for standards, open access software tools, workflow and equipment specifications, widely used metadata schema, or other products. Applications are welcome from educational and research organizations in the humanities in the USA.
Funding and duration of projects may be
- Tier I provides awards up to $100,000 to up to 2 years
- Tier II provides awards up to $350,000 for up to 3 years
Applications close on May 16, 2023.
