Opportunity Information: Apply for 20170606 HAA
Digital Humanities Advancement Grants (DHAG) is a discretionary grant program from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) designed to support digital humanities projects across the full arc of development, from early concept and prototype work to full implementation and plans for long-term sustainability. The program places a strong emphasis on experimentation and innovation, particularly work that can be reused, extended, or scaled by others. In practice, this means NEH is looking for digital initiatives that do more than produce a one-off tool or website; the most competitive projects typically demonstrate how their methods, code, data, workflows, or models can be adapted to other contexts to strengthen research, teaching, and public humanities programming.
A key feature of DHAG is that it consolidates two earlier NEH programs, Digital Humanities Start-Up Grants and Digital Humanities Implementation Grants, into a single funding opportunity. By merging those tracks, DHAG creates a more continuous pipeline for projects at different maturity levels while still encouraging applicants to articulate where their project sits in its lifecycle and what specific progress the proposed phase will deliver. The opportunity is offered twice per year, which is intended to give teams more flexibility in planning and resubmitting as projects evolve.
The scope is broad: proposals are welcomed for digital initiatives in any area of the humanities. That includes, for example, the creation or enhancement of digital archives and editions, scholarly tools and platforms, digital pedagogical resources, data-driven humanities research methods, and public-facing digital experiences that interpret humanities content for wider audiences. Regardless of subject area, the program description highlights the value of building projects in ways that encourage reuse and extensibility, meaning applicants should think about open standards, documentation, interoperable design, and sustainability strategies that keep products usable beyond the grant period.
DHAG also includes an important collaboration element through a special partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). Under this partnership, IMLS anticipates providing additional funding to encourage innovative projects that bring together museum or library professionals with humanities professionals. The purpose of this collaboration is to advance the preservation of, access to, use of, and engagement with digital collections and services. In some cases, NEH and IMLS may jointly fund DHAG projects that meaningfully involve museums and/or libraries, especially where the collaboration improves digital stewardship and public or scholarly engagement with cultural heritage materials.
Eligibility is broad and includes many public and nonprofit entities that commonly lead humanities and cultural heritage work. Eligible applicants include state, county, and local 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 higher education institutions when applying in the nonprofit category). This eligibility range supports applications from universities, libraries, museums, archives, cultural organizations, and government entities engaged in humanities-oriented digital initiatives.
For the specific opportunity record provided (Funding Opportunity Number 20170606 HAA), the award ceiling is listed as $375,000. The agency is the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the original closing date shown is 2017-06-06, with a creation date of 2017-02-17. Overall, DHAG is positioned as a program for ambitious digital humanities work that is both experimental and durable, encouraging teams to produce outcomes that can be maintained, built upon, and shared to broaden impact across the humanities community.Apply for 20170606 HAA
