Opportunity Information: Apply for 20230516 PE
The Preservation and Access Education and Training program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), offered through its Division of Preservation and Access. The main purpose of the program is to strengthen the preservation field by funding education and training initiatives that build practical knowledge and skills for the people who care for humanities collections. In plain terms, NEH is looking to support well-designed training programs that help cultural heritage professionals preserve materials and make them accessible for research, teaching, and public engagement.
This opportunity is aimed at organizations capable of running training programs at the national, regional, or statewide level. The focus is not on preserving a single collection in one place, but on developing and delivering instruction that can raise the capacity of the broader cultural heritage workforce. NEH emphasizes training that equips staff at cultural institutions to act as effective stewards of humanities collections, meaning the program is intended to improve day-to-day decision-making and hands-on practices related to long-term care and responsible access.
A wide range of applicants can apply, reflecting how many different types of institutions hold humanities materials. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments, as well as special district governments. Public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education are eligible, along with federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education institutions) are also eligible, which typically includes museums, libraries, archives, historical societies, and other mission-driven cultural organizations that could host and deliver structured training.
The funding instrument is a grant under the Humanities funding activity category (CFDA number 45.149). The award ceiling listed for this opportunity is $350,000, and NEH anticipated making about 10 awards under this cycle. The opportunity was created on February 14, 2023, with an original application closing date of May 16, 2023, and it is identified by Funding Opportunity Number 20230516 PE. Overall, the program is designed to invest in high-impact training that can improve preservation outcomes and access practices across institutions responsible for safeguarding humanities collections.Apply for 20230516 PE
