| Description: | The National Historical Publications and Records Commission supports projects that promote the preservation and use of America’s documentary heritage essential to understanding our democracy, history, and culture. The National Historical Publications and Records Commission seeks proposals from active NHPRC-supported publications projects to serve as a host institution for a Historical Documentary Editing Fellowship. Applicants should demonstrate the capability to provide strong post-graduate training in documentary editing, including document collection, accessioning, and control; selection; transcription; annotation; proofreading; indexing; and project management.Staff at the host institution will solicit applicants, select the best candidate, and arrange for their hiring by their institution. The Commission provides this funding to ensure that recent History Ph.D.s or advanced graduate students have exposure to historical editing techniques and careers. The host institution may use a limited amount of funds to cover costs of recruiting a fellow and giving the fellow limited travel and educational opportunities.Awards are for one year grants of $55,000 each. Depending on the quality of proposals and the availability of funding, the Commission expects to fund one to two fellowship projects, each with a single fellow. The Commission urges applicants to investigate fully their institution’s hiring and payment/benefits procedures prior to making an application for an institutional host grant, so that, once funded, the fellowship will run smoothly. Applicants should try to resolve in advance questions bearing on the fellow’s compensation. For example, will the fellow be paid as a contractor or be placed on the payroll? Will taxes be withheld? Is it possible to assist the fellow with housing? Benefits arrangements should be decided prior to the soliciting of fellowship applicants. Like all NHPRC grant recipients, the host institution will be required to submit periodic financial and narrative reports on the project. The basic stipend may be up to $42,000. A 25 percent allowance for fringe benefits supplements the stipend. In addition, up to $2,500 may be used by the institution to cover the costs of interviewing individual applicants and/or sending fellows to professional conferences or training institutes. |
