Award Amount: $5,000 to

The Gladys
Krieble Delmas Foundation intends to further the humanities along a broad front,
supporting projects which address the concerns of the historical studia humanitatis: a humanistic education
rooted in the great traditions of the past; the formation of human beings
according to cultural, moral, and aesthetic ideals derived from that past; and
the ongoing debate over how these ideals may best be conceived and
realized.
Programs in
the following areas are eligible: history; archaeology; literature; languages,
both classical and modern; philosophy; ethics; comparative religion; the
history, criticism, and theory of the arts; and those aspects of the social
sciences which share the content and methods of humanistic disciplines. The
Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation welcomes projects that cross the boundaries
between humanistic disciplines and explore the connection between the humanities
and other areas of scholarship.

15. National Leadership Grants to Elevate Museum and
Library Practice
DEADLINE: February 1, 2009
Award Amount: $50,000–$1,000,000; up to
$100,000 for planning grants
National Leadership
Grants (NLG) support projects that have the potential to elevate museum and
library practice. The Institute seeks to advance the ability of museums and
libraries to preserve culture, heritage and knowledge while enhancing
learning.
Successful proposals
will have national impact and generate results—new tools, research, models,
services, practices, or alliances—that can be widely adapted or replicated to
extend the benefit of federal investment. The Institute seeks to fund projects
that have the following characteristics:
Strategic
Impact—Proposals should address key needs and challenges that
face libraries and museums. They should expand the boundaries within which
libraries and museums operate, show the potential for far-reaching impact, and
influence practice throughout the museum and/or library communities.
Innovation—Proposals
should demonstrate a thorough understanding of current practice and knowledge
about the project area, and show how the project will advance the state of the
art of museum and library service.
Collaboration—while
partners are not required in all NLG categories, the Institute has found that
involving carefully chosen partners with complementary competencies and
resources can create powerful synergies that extend project impact. Proposals
should show understanding of the challenges of collaboration and propose means
for addressing them.
Applications may be
submitted in the following categories: Advancing Digital Resources, Research,
Demonstration, and Library and Museum Collaboration Grants.

Humanities

Award Amount: Awards normally range from
one to three years and from $50,000 to a
maximum of $250,000.
As part of the Endowment-wide Digital Humanities
Initiative, these grants support national or regional (multi-state) training
programs on approaches in humanities computing. Through these programs, the NEH
seeks to increase the number of humanities scholars using digital technology in
their research and broadly disseminate knowledge about advanced technology
applications relevant to the humanities. The projects may be a single
opportunity or offered multiple times to different audiences, although the
duration of a program should allow for full and thorough treatment of the
topic.

The Arts Endowment seeks to enter into a Cooperative
Agreement with an organization that will carry out a project to increase
understanding, acceptance, and practice of universal design within the design
profession, by design educators, and by the American public. Proposed projects
should focus on extending the appeal of universal design from the disability
community into the mainstream of American design and American society. The
project should educate designers and others including developers, city planners,
and consumers on this important issue.
