NEH OFFERS GRANTS FOR HUMANITIES WORK
 
The National Endowment for the Humanities invites applications to plan or support museum exhibitions, library projects, interpretation of historic places, and other project formats that engage audiences in exploring humanities issues.
 
America's Historical and Cultural Organizations grants support traveling or long-term museum exhibitions, library-based projects, interpretation of historic places or areas, interpretive web sites, or other project formats that creatively engage audiences in exploring humanities ideas and questions. Planning grants can be used to plan, refine, and develop the content and interpretive approach of a project.  Applicants should have already begun consulting with scholars to help
shape the humanities content of the project, and with other programming advisers appropriate to the project's format.
 
Applications for panel exhibitions are accepted only from organizations other than museums, such as libraries or library systems. Panel exhibitions must travel beyond a single site and must also incorporate at least one other program format. Applications that make innovative use of emerging technologies are encouraged. Projects should do more than simply provide a digital archive of material. They should offer new ways of contextualizing and interpreting information that engages public audiences interactively in exploring humanities ideas and questions. 
 
The application deadline is Jan. 28. The offers are typically $40,000 for one-year planning grants; as much as $400,000 for implementation grants over three years.
