DFG/NEH: New Awards / New Funding Opportunities
We are pleased to announce two exciting bits of news: the awardees from the DFG/NEH Joint Digitization Projects program and the future of DFG/NEH grant programs.
Announcement of DFG/NEH Joint Digitization Project Awardees
This program offered support for digital humanities projects funded by NEH in collaboration with the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft or DFG) in Germany. These grants provided combined funding of up to $350,000 for up to three years of development in for new digitization projects, the addition of important materials to existing digitization projects, or the development of infrastructure to support U.S.-German digitization work. Each project was sponsored by both an American and a German institution, whose activities will be funded by NEH and DFG respectively.
These awards are part of a larger group of 154 awards recently announced by the NEH. For a full state-by-state list of all the awards, please...

I wanted to let readers know that I will be at the Modern Language Association's annual convention this year, as will my colleague Steve Ross, Director of the Office of Challenge Grants. If you are in San Francisco, please feel free to find us to discuss project ideas, funding opportunities, or even your favorite book. If you have trouble tracking us down among the thousands of attendees, you can be certain to see us at the NEH workshop on Friday Sunday, 28 December, from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. in Yosemite B, Hilton San Francisco (note: the workshop is listed only in the Convention News & Program Update [PDF, page 6], and not in the official program). There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion, and we will provide an overview of the various grant programs NEH has to offer.

I wanted to bring readers' attention to a few NEH events at the Chicago Colloquium on Digital Humanities and Computer Science (http://dhcs.uchicago.edu), which will take place November 1-3 at the University of Chicago. A funder's panel is scheduled during the pre-colloquium activities for the first day (November 1), and I will also be available during the poster sessions to discuss digital humanities projects and the NEH funding that supported them. If you want to speak to a program officer about grant opportunities at NEH, and you happen to be in the Chicago area, this is a wonderful opportunity to not only learn about our programs, but also about the collaborative work of your peers.
Registration is set at the very affordable price of "free," but you need to register by this Friday.

We have good news for those of you eagerly anticipating the full set of guidelines for the new 2008 Call for Joint Digitization Projects, which is part of the DFG/NEH Bilateral Digital Humanities Program that we announced a few weeks ago. The Digitization guidelines are now available on the NEH Web site and the DFG Web site. Note that while there may be some administrative differences between the two sets of guidelines, the core requirements are the same. At least one German and one U.S. institution will collaborate on a single proposal, which will be submitted to NEH by the U.S. partner and to DFG by the German partner. The combined sum of the request can range from $100,000 to $350,000 (approximately 70,000 to 240,000 € ) for...
