Deadline: 8-Jun-22
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Division of Public Programs is accepting applications for the Digital Projects for the Public program.
This 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 public through a realistic plan for development, marketing, and distribution
- demonstrate the capacity to sustain themselves
Funding Categories
- Discovery – The Discovery category (up to $30,000) supports the exploratory stages of a digital project that brings together humanities scholars, content experts, and digital media experts to determine which approaches a project might take. The Discovery phase should emphasize collaboration between these two types of expertise to identify the combination of content and platform that can most effectively communicate the humanities ideas to public audiences.
- Prototyping – The Prototyping category (up to $100,000) supports the creation of a proof-of-concept prototype. Applicants in this category must submit a design document that describes the platform, user interface, design, and the ways in which the project’s central humanities ideas will be conveyed.
- Production – The Production category (up to $400,000) supports the production and distribution of humanities projects that have a primarily digital format. Applicants must submit a design document and a prototype that demonstrate a solid command of the humanities content and scholarship related to the subject.

All awards have a period of performance of up to three years, with start date as early as March 1, 2023 and as late as September 1, 2023.
