The Advancing Knowledge
program supports innovative, collaborative humanities projects
that use digital technologies for the benefit of the American
public, humanities scholarship and the nation’s cultural
institutions. These grants require substantive collaborations
among libraries, museums, archives, universities, and other
cultural organizations. Grants support projects that explore
new ways to share, examine and interpret humanities collections
in a digital environment, that develop new uses and audiences
for existing digital resources, or that result in extensible
and transferable methodologies or tools.
Advancing Knowledge is a joint program of the
IMLS through its Digital Connections Initiative and the National
Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) through its Digital Humanities
Initiative. Applications must include at least one library,
museum or archives as an integral member of the project team.
Awards typically range from $50,000 to a maximum of $350,000
for projects of up to two years. The application and award process
for this program is managed by NEH. IMLS also provides support
for the NEH Digital Humanities Start-Up Grants. For more information
see the
program guidelines on the NEH Web site.
