** 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.
