This NEH grant is for the purpose of supporting the preparation of scholarly editions and translations of pre-existing texts and documents that are currently inaccessible or inadequately available. It funds full-time or part-time projects lasting one to three years, undertaken by a team of at least two staff members. The grant typically supports significant literary, philosophical, historical, and even musical materials. Applicants must demonstrate familiarity with best practices from organizations like the Association for Documentary Editing or the Modern Language Association. Projects are expected to include scholarly and critical apparatus, such as introductions and annotations, providing essential context. The National Endowment for the Humanities prioritizes making grant products, like edited texts, scores, or websites, freely accessible to the public, ensuring wide dissemination of federally funded work.

| Description: | Scholarly Editions and Translations grants support the preparation of editions and translations of pre-existing texts and documents that are currently inaccessible or available in inadequate editions. These grants support full-time or part-time activities for periods of at least one year up to a maximum of three years. Projects must be undertaken by a team of at least one editor or translator and one other staff member. Grants typically support editions and translations of significant literary, philosophical, and historical materials, but other types of work, such as musical notation, are also eligible. Applicants should demonstrate familiarity with the best practices recommended by the Association for Documentary Editing or the Modern Language Association Committee on Scholarly Editions. Translation projects should also explain the approach adopted for the particular work to be translated. Editions and translations produced with NEH support contain scholarly and critical apparatus appropriate to the subject matter and format of the edition. This usually means introductions and annotations that provide essential information about the form, transmission, and historical and intellectual context of the texts and documents involved. Proposals for editions of foreign language materials in the original language are eligible for funding, as well as proposals for editions of translated materials. Sample narratives from successful grant applications are available under the Program Resources section of the sidebar on the first page of the guidelines. You may request additional samples by sending an e-mail message to editions@neh.gov. Providing Access to Grant Products As a taxpayer-supported federal agency, NEH endeavors to make the products of its grants available to the broadest possible audience. Our goal is for scholars, educators, students, and the American public to have ready and easy access to the wide range of NEH grant products. For the Scholarly Editions and Translations program, such products may include edited documentary or literary texts, musical scores, or websites, and the like. For projects that lead to the development of websites, all other considerations being equal, NEH gives preference to those that provide free access to the public. |
