Opportunity Information: Apply for 20220302 HT
The Institutes for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities program is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), specifically through its Office of Digital Humanities. It is designed to fund intensive training programs, organized at a national scale or across multiple states (regional/multistate), that help scholars, humanities professionals, and advanced graduate students deepen their skills and understanding in digital humanities. The central idea is to expand the community of humanities researchers and practitioners who can effectively use digital technologies in their work, while also spreading practical knowledge about advanced tools, methods, and approaches that are especially relevant to humanities research, teaching, curation, and public-facing scholarship.
The funded activities are institutes focused on advanced topics, meaning they are not simply introductory workshops. These institutes typically emphasize hands-on learning and structured instruction in specific digital methods or technologies that can meaningfully change how humanities work is done or shared. NEH frames the program around two connected outcomes: first, increasing the number of people in the humanities who are capable of using digital tools in serious research or professional practice; and second, broadly disseminating expertise about cutting-edge or specialized digital humanities methodologies so that knowledge does not stay confined to a small group of experts or a single institution.
Eligibility is broad and includes multiple types of organizations that can credibly host and administer a training institute. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township 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 higher education institutions in that specific nonprofit category listing). This eligibility structure reflects NEH's intent to support institutes that may be led by universities, libraries, cultural organizations, consortia, or other public-serving entities that have the capacity to convene participants and deliver a rigorous training experience.
In the posted opportunity information, the funding instrument is a grant, the activity category is humanities (aligned with CFDA number 45.169), and the award ceiling is listed as $250,000 per award. NEH expected to make about five awards under this cycle. The opportunity was created on November 19, 2021, with an original application closing date of March 2, 2022. The funding opportunity title is "Institutes for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities," and the funding opportunity number is 20220302 HT, which is useful for locating the official notice and associated application instructions in NEH materials or grants portals.
Overall, this program is aimed at building field-wide capacity in digital humanities by supporting well-organized, high-level institutes that train cohorts of participants and circulate advanced technical and methodological knowledge broadly across the humanities community, rather than limiting those skills to isolated projects or a single campus.Apply for 20220302 HT
