Opportunity Information: Apply for 20180116 HAA
The Digital Humanities Advancement Grants (DHAG) program, offered by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), funds digital humanities projects across their full lifespan, meaning it can support work in early concept and prototype stages as well as projects moving through implementation and into long-term maintenance and sustainability. The program is built around the idea that strong digital humanities work should be experimental, reusable, and extensible. In practice, this means NEH is looking for projects that try new approaches or tools, produce outputs that others can adapt or build on, and are designed to scale or remain useful beyond the initial grant period in ways that strengthen humanities research, teaching, and public-facing programming.
DHAG is open to digital initiatives in any humanities area, with no single disciplinary focus required. The opportunity specifically welcomes projects that (1) create or improve experimental computational methods, techniques, and infrastructure that meaningfully contribute to humanities work; (2) support scholarship examining digital culture itself, including its history, criticism, philosophy, and social impacts, or the implications of digital humanities within particular disciplines; and (3) revitalize, recover, or extend existing digital projects that have clear value for scholarship, education, or public knowledge but need renewed investment to remain viable or reach their potential. A key theme across these categories is that NEH is not only funding brand-new builds; it is also interested in rescuing and strengthening earlier digital projects when there is a strong case that they will continue to serve the field.
A notable feature of this opportunity is a special partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). Through this arrangement, IMLS anticipates contributing additional funds to encourage collaborations that bring museum and library professionals together with humanities scholars and practitioners. Projects aligned with this partnership typically emphasize improved preservation, access, use, and public engagement related to digital collections and services. Some projects that involve museums and/or libraries may be jointly funded by NEH and IMLS, which signals that proposals emphasizing cross-sector collaboration and public value around collections and digital services may be especially competitive.
From an administrative standpoint, DHAG is a discretionary grant program (not a formula program). The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number 20180116 HAA, with CFDA number 45.169. Eligible applicants include a wide range of public and nonprofit entities: 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 IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education institutions). The listed award ceiling is $375,000. The program is offered twice per year, and the cited original closing date for this particular posting was January 16, 2018 (created November 15, 2017), indicating that applicants should always confirm the current cycle deadlines and requirements on the NEH program page for the most up-to-date schedule and guidance.
Overall, DHAG is designed for digital humanities efforts that can demonstrate genuine innovation or meaningful renewal, a clear benefit to humanities audiences (researchers, students, educators, or the public), and an approach that anticipates longevity through sustainability planning, reuse, and the ability for others to extend the work.Apply for 20180116 HAA
