The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is offering Scholarly Editions Grants to support the preparation of editions of pre-existing texts and documents that are currently inaccessible or inadequately available. Projects must be undertaken by a team of editors and staff members. These grants typically cover editions of literary, philosophical, and historical materials, as well as musical notation. Applicants should be familiar with best practices recommended by the Association for Documentary Editing. Projects should include scholarly and critical apparatus such as introductions and annotations. NEH aims to make grant products widely accessible to scholars, educators, students, and the public, particularly through free access on websites.

| Description: | Scholarly Editions Grants support the preparation of editions of pre-existing texts and documents that are currently inaccessible or available in inadequate editions. Projects must be undertaken by a team of at least one editor and one other staff member. Grants typically support editions of significant literary, philosophical, and historical materials, but other types of work, such as musical notation, are also eligible. Applicants should demonstrate familiarity with the best practices recommended by the Association for Documentary Editing or the Modern Language Association Committee on Scholarly Editions. Editions produced with NEH support contain scholarly and critical apparatus appropriate to the subject matter and format of the edition. This usually means introductions and annotations that provide essential information about the form, transmission, and historical and intellectual context of the texts and documents involved. Proposals for editions of foreign language materials in the original language are eligible for funding, but proposals for editions of translated materials should be submitted to the Collaborative Research program. Providing Access to Grant Products As a taxpayer-supported federal agency, the NEH endeavors to make the products of its grants available to the broadest possible audience. Our goal is for scholars, educators, students, and the American public to have ready and easy access to the wide range of NEH grant products. For the Scholarly Editions program, such products may include edited documentary or literary texts, musical scores, or Web sites, and the like. For projects that lead to the development of Web sites, all other considerations being equal, the NEH gives preference to those that provide free access to the public. |
