Mellon Foundation invite 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, we hope to investigate the possibility of creating a federated system or systems for publishing and sustaining digital editions. Developing the Digital Edition Publishing Cooperatives will be a two-stage process for *Planning* and *Implementation*. Up to eight planning grants will provide funds to support the first stage of this multi-year endeavor, beginning no later than February 1, 2018. Each project team will consist of a principal investigator to spearhead the initiative, a lead representative from each of at least three participating editions and the host institution(s). During the *Planning* stage, each team will develop a proposal for implementing a Digital Edition Publishing Cooperative. Planning grants are for one year and up to $100,000. All planning teams would be eligible to apply for *Implementation* funding. Three implementation grants of between $350,000 and $500,000, each for up to three years, are expected to be awarded, for a total of up to $1.25 million. Implementation grants will be awarded in September 2019, with a start date of no later than October 1, 2019. A full description of the program, its outcomes, and a glossary of special terminology, are available at:www.archives.gov/nhprc/announcement/publishingcoops. *Deadline for Draft Proposals: May 15, 2017* *Deadline for Completed Proposals: July 6, 2017* *To view the full announcement, visit:* www.archives.gov/nhprc/announcement/publishingcoops *For additional information:* Contact Darrell Meadows, NHPRC Director for Publishing, at (202) 357-5321 or [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ R.
