Hello Code4Lib, I am pleased to share that the Digital Preservation Outreach and Education Network (DPOE-N, https://www.dpoe.network/) seeks to *provide funding and support *to US cultural heritage professionals and institutions for digital preservation training. DPOE-N is a Mellon-funded initiative that is based at Pratt Institute and New York University’s Moving Image Archiving & Preservation Program. We are currently accepting applications for our two funding opportunities, and hope you will consider applying and/or share this exciting news with your colleagues. The first and main DPOE-N initiative offers funding for individuals in the US to seek training in the area of digital preservation <https://www.dpoe.network/professional-development-support/>. Funding can be used within a network of available professional development providers and can cover more than one workshop. DPOE-N staff are available to work with those interested in applying to develop a professional development program that fits their needs and help them with the application process. DPOE-N has also set aside a modest amount of funds for emergency hardware support <https://www.dpoe.network/emergency-hardware-support/> to US-based institutions who are stewarding digital materials that are critically endangered stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at [log in to unmask] Best, Anthony -- *Anthony Cocciolo* | Dean, School of Information *PRATT INSTITUTE* 144 West 14th Street | 6th Floor | New York, NY 10011-7301 phone: (212) 647-7702 | fax: (212) 367-2492 | [log in to unmask] | si.pratt.edu *Connect with the School of Information on Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/prattischool/>, Twitter <https://twitter.com/prattischool> and Instagram <https://www.instagram.com/prattischool/>, or sign-up for our newsletter <https://www.pratt.edu/academics/information/about-the-school/newsletter/>!* *Support School of Information fellowships <https://www.pratt.edu/academics/information/experiential-learning-opportunities/fellowships/> that fund students to engage in significant work at NYC's cultural institutions.
