All,
  After our NDSA Infrastructure meeting today, Sean Ferguson (Program Officer at NEH) shared this information concerning NEH Grants which may be of interest to our community. Our meeting today focused on the topic of Use of AI in the GLAM space. But the grants address all challenges to digital preservation.

Dear Eric and Robin,

 

I hope you are well! My name is Sean Ferguson, and I’m a Program Officer at NEH. We just released the new Notice of Funding Opportunity for two of our grant programs: Research and Development and Education and Training. As Chairs of the Infrastructure Group, I thought you might find these funding opportunities of interest to members of your group. Both programs encourage applicants to address challenges in digital preservation.

 

I have included a short announcement below about these complementary programs, in case you would like to share it with members of the Infrastructure group, including links to the program information pages where recorded webinars can be found. If you or other members have any questions about Research & Development, they are welcome to contact my colleague Josh Sternfeld ([log in to unmask]) or if you have any questions about Education & Training, you are welcome to contact me ([log in to unmask]). Questions about either program can be sent to our main email address, [log in to unmask]
