Opportunity Information: Apply for 20210518 PE
The Preservation and Access Education and Training grant opportunity is a discretionary grant program offered by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), specifically through its Division of Preservation and Access. Its central goal is to strengthen the field by building practical knowledge and professional skills for the people who are responsible for preserving humanities collections and making them accessible to the public. In other words, the program is designed to improve how cultural institutions care for, manage, and provide access to materials of humanities value by investing in training that reaches the professionals doing that work.
Funding is awarded to organizations that can deliver structured education and training programs at a national, regional, or statewide level. These programs are expected to serve staff working in cultural institutions and to help them become more effective stewards of humanities collections. While the opportunity summary does not list specific required topics, the emphasis is clearly on preservation and access skills, which commonly include areas such as collections care, conservation basics, risk management and emergency preparedness, environmental monitoring, digitization and digital stewardship, audiovisual preservation, metadata and description practices that support discovery, and other operational competencies that improve the long-term survival and usability of collection materials.
The opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 20210518 PE, CFDA 45.149) allows a broad range of applicant types, reflecting NEH's intent to reach many parts of the cultural heritage ecosystem. Eligible applicants include state, county, and local governments; 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 nonprofits that are institutions of higher education, which are covered under the separate higher-education eligibility category). This range suggests that training providers might include universities, statewide service organizations, library and archives networks, museum associations, tribal cultural organizations, and governmental entities with the capacity to run substantial training programs.
The maximum award amount listed for this cycle is $350,000, and NEH anticipated making about 12 awards. The opportunity was created on February 10, 2021, and the original application deadline was May 18, 2021. Overall, the program is best understood as a capacity-building investment: rather than funding direct preservation treatments for a single collection, it supports educational efforts that multiply impact by equipping many professionals across institutions with the skills needed to preserve humanities collections and expand or improve public access to them.Apply for 20210518 PE
