| Description: | The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) in the United States and the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft e.V., DFG) in Germany are working together to offer support for digital humanities projects. These grants provide funding for up to two bilateral symposia or workshops in the area of digital humanities. Collaboration between U.S. and German partners is a key requirement for this grant category. The goal of this request for proposals is to promote stronger bilateral cooperation and increased competencies in the digital humanities communities in the two countries by initiating or intensifying contact between distinguished scholars, junior researchers, scientists, librarians, information professionals, and others working on humanities projects. Each application must be sponsored by one eligible institution (U.S.) and one individual (Germany), and there must be a project director from each country (see Eligibility requirements below). The partners will collaborate to write a single application package, which the U.S. partner will submit to the NEH (via Grants.gov) and the German partner will submit to the DFG via regular postal service (original plus duplicate; additional submission of a PDF version via e-mail is encouraged). All potential applicants should note that while NEH and DFG each host a version of the guidelines on their respective web-sites, the requirements for the application package as outlined in the section “Application and Submission Information” are identical. However, each set of guidelines contains some variations in grant administration procedures to be followed by successful applicants. These variations reflect the administrative and organizational requirements of each country. Beside the research goal, applications should explain the need for the U.S.-German partnership and provide workable approaches to key issues within the digital humanities. |
