The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is offering the Fellowships Open Book Program grant through its Office of Digital Humanities and Division of Research Programs. This limited competition provides publishers with a $5,500 grant. The primary purpose of this grant is to facilitate the release of open access digital editions of books whose underlying research was originally funded by an eligible NEH fellowship or grant. Publishers awarded this funding are required to release the resulting e-books under a Creative Commons license, making them freely available for public download. Eligible books include both forthcoming titles slated for open access upon first release, and existing books published, reissued, or printed in a new edition during or after calendar year 2016. This initiative aims to significantly broaden public access to NEH-supported humanities scholarship.
