Grant Duration: up to 2 years
Details:
The Digital Projects for the Public program supports projects that interpret and analyze humanities content in primarily digital platforms and formats, such as websites, mobile applications and tours, interactive touch screens and kiosks, games, and virtual environments. All Digital Projects for the Public projects must:
- provide public audiences with structured analysis that deepens public understanding of significant humanities ideas
- incorporate sound humanities scholarship
- involve humanities scholars in all phases of development and production
- include appropriate digital media professionals
- reach a broad audience through a realistic plan for development, marketing, and distribution
- demonstrate the capacity for sustainability
NEH seeks proposals that explore a range of interpretive possibilities. The most competitive proposals include collaboration with multiple scholars offering diverse perspectives. Projects that depend on input from a single scholar are not competitive.
NEH also welcomes applications for non-promotional digital components of larger projects. For these projects, you should explain how the digital platform will enrich the users’ learning experience and engagement.
The Digital Projects for the Public program includes three funding categories:
- Discovery, to conduct preliminary research
- Prototyping, to design or create prototypes
- Production, to produce the final version of the project
Funding Information
- Estimated Total Program Funding: $1,500,000
- Award Ceiling: $400,000
Period of performance
You may request a period of performance of up to two years for Discovery and Prototyping awards.
Eligible Applicants
To be eligible to apply, your organization must be established in the United States or its jurisdictions as one of the following organization types:

If your organization is eligible, you may apply on behalf of a consortium of collaborating organizations. If NEH selects your proposal for funding, you will be programmatically, legally, and fiscally responsible for the award.
