Opportunity Information: Apply for 20210708 HND
The NEH/AHRC New Directions for Digital Scholarship in Cultural Institutions program is a joint US-UK grant opportunity run by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Office of Digital Humanities and the United Kingdom's Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), which sits within UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). Its central aim is to support collaborative, cross-national teams that bring together humanities researchers and professionals working in cultural institutions to push digital scholarship forward in ways that meaningfully change how cultural organizations do digital research and use digital methods. In practice, the program is designed for projects that go beyond routine digitization or incremental improvements and instead deliver clear, transformational impact on digital approaches within museums, libraries, archives, and related cultural heritage settings.
A key feature of this opportunity is that proposals must be genuinely binational and team-based. Each application has to include at least one organization based in the United States and at least one organization based in the United Kingdom, and each country must be represented by at least one cultural institution. The submission process is coordinated but split by funder: the eligible US organization submits the application to NEH with a US-specific budget under the NEH announcement, while the lead UK organization submits the same application to AHRC with a UK-specific budget. Funding is likewise divided, with NEH supporting the US participants and AHRC supporting the UK participants, which helps ensure that collaborators in both countries have direct support from their respective national funding bodies.
In terms of who can apply on the US side, the eligible applicant categories are broad and include various levels of government (state, county, city or township, and special district governments), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in that specific nonprofit category). The grant is classified as a discretionary funding opportunity and uses the grant instrument type. The activity area is listed under Humanities (with a cultural affairs connection reflected in the CFDA framing), and the CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 45.169.
The opportunity details indicate an award ceiling of $150,000, with an expected 15 awards. The funding opportunity number is 20210708 HND. The opportunity record shows a creation date of April 15, 2021, and an original closing date of July 8, 2021. Overall, the program targets US-UK partnerships that can demonstrate strong collaboration between academic or research expertise and on-the-ground cultural institution practice, with the explicit goal of advancing digital scholarship in ways that can reshape methods, workflows, and research capabilities inside cultural institutions.Apply for 20210708 HND
