Current NEH Partners

Developing a cyberinfrastructure for the humanities is a worldwide effort. NEH regularly speaks with -- and sometimes forms partnerships with -- many other funding organizations around the world in an effort to ensure we are working towards common goals. Our current partners include:

The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG or German Research Foundation) is the central, self-governing research funding organization that promotes research at universities and other publicly financed research institutions in Germany. The DFG serves all branches of science and the humanities by funding research projects and facilitating cooperation among researchers. The NEH and DFG recently signed an agreement to offer two bilateral grant programs in the digital humanities.
The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). The IMLS is the primary source of federal support for the nation’s 122,000 libraries and 17,500 museums. The Institute's mission is to create strong libraries and museums that connect people to information and ideas. NEH works closely with the IMLS on many issues critical to the digital humanities. IMLS and NEH are currently partners on two grant programs, the Digital Humanities Start-Up Grants and Advancing Knowledge.
The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) makes grants in the United Kingdom to support the innovative use of ICT (Information and Communications Technology) to support education and research. JISC and NEH are currently partners on the JISC/NEH Transatlantic Digitization Collaboration Program.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 "to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense…". NSF and NEH are currently partners on the Documenting Endangered Languages program.
The Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche of Italy (CNR or National Research Council) is a public organization in Italy; its duty is to carry out, promote, spread, transfer and improve research activities in the main sectors of knowledge growth and of its applications for the scientific, technological, economic and social development of the Country. CNR and NEH are currently working together to sponsor two joint conferences, one in October of 2007 and one in the spring of 2008.
