The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is forecasting a grant opportunity titled "Research and Development," aimed at supporting projects that tackle significant challenges in preserving or providing access to humanities collections and resources. This program offers two funding tiers to accommodate projects at various stages of development and implementation, specifically targeting private institutions of higher education as eligible applicants. With an estimated total program funding of $1.5 million and an award ceiling of $350,000, the NEH anticipates making approximately eight awards, with the application period expected to open in February 2025 and close in May 2025.
