** Deadline extended to May 28, 2019 **
The National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) and the
Andrew W. Mellon Foundation are pleased to invite implementation grant
proposals for Digital Edition Publishing Cooperatives.
Working together, the Cooperatives will develop technical and human
infrastructures to support the digital publication of documentary and
scholarly editions and to provide for their long-term preservation,
discovery, and use. This initiative responds to the urgent need of scholars
and documentary editors for reliable, sustainable, authoritative, and
field-driven outlets for publication and discovery of digital editions. At
the same time, the Cooperatives will work together to create and sustain
one or more federated systems for publishing and sustaining digital
editions.
Several implementation grants of up to $1 million, for up to three years,
are expected to be awarded, for a total of up to $3 million. Implementation
grants will be awarded in December 2019, with a start date of no later than
January 1, 2020.
A full description of the program, including submission guidelines and
instructions, is available at: www.archives.gov/nhprc/announcement/depc.
