 We are pleased to announce the awardees from the DFG/NEH Bilateral Symposia and Workshops program.  This program offers support for digital humanities projects funded by NEH in collaboration with the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft e.V., DFG) in Germany. These grants require collaboration between U.S. and German entities and provide funding for up to two joint symposia or workshops in the area of digital humanities.

The guidelines for the JISC/NEH Transatlantic Digitization Collaboration Grants are now available on the NEH website (the JISC version of the guidelines can be found here).  

Also note: the Start-Up Grant (SUG) guidelines have been updated, and the next deadline is April 8, 2009.

We are very pleased to announce that, in partnership with the Joint Information System Committee (JISC) in the United Kingdom, NEH will be offering a second round of grants for the Transatlantic Digitization Collaboration program.   The guidelines should be available later this month, but we wanted to alert potential applicants so that you could start developing the necessary partnerships. 

The deadline for applications will be in March 2009. 

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.
