Opportunity Information: Apply for 20190515 PE
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Preservation and Access Education and Training grant (Funding Opportunity Number 20190515-PE, CFDA 45.149) is a discretionary grant program designed to strengthen the preservation field by building practical knowledge and hands-on skills among the people who care for humanities collections. The focus is on education and training that helps professionals responsibly preserve materials and expand access to them, recognizing that collections are only useful to the public when they are both protected and discoverable.
This opportunity responds to a real, ongoing challenge faced by cultural heritage organizations across the United States: libraries, archives, museums, and historical organizations hold extremely large and varied collections that include books and manuscripts, photographs, audio recordings and moving images, archaeological and ethnographic items, artworks and other material culture, electronic records, and born-digital materials. Each of these formats comes with its own preservation risks, technical requirements, and access considerations, and many institutions, especially smaller ones, do not have enough specialized staff to manage them without targeted training. NEH uses this program to close that skills gap by supporting projects that teach up-to-date methods and spread good practice across the field.
Funding is intended for organizations that provide structured education and training programs at the national, regional, or statewide level. NEH explicitly frames the program as supporting training across the full "pedagogical landscape" and at all stages of development, meaning it can support a range of approaches and audiences, from introductory instruction for heritage workers who need foundational skills to advanced training that reflects new research, tools, standards, and emerging best practices. The program also supports efforts that prepare the next generation of preservation professionals, as well as initiatives that help current practitioners adapt to new developments in preservation and access, including challenges tied to electronic records and digital objects.
Eligible applicants include a broad mix of public and nonprofit entities that commonly anchor preservation training capacity: state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding nonprofits that are institutions of higher education when applying under that nonprofit category). The agency administering the program is the National Endowment for the Humanities. The listed award ceiling for this opportunity is $350,000, and the original closing date shown in the source information is May 15, 2019 (indicating that this specific posting was tied to that application cycle).Apply for 20190515 PE
