Attachment C.2 U.S. Repository Network.pdf

This document is a solicitation (Solicitation Number: 43310124R00010) for the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Designated Repository (NDR) to store articles, with their metadata, and make articles freely accessible to the public. The NEH is seeking to partner with an existing, established scholarly repository that already has a significant base of humanities journal articles and users with a professional affiliation in the humanities. The purpose is to ensure that NEH-funded articles can be discovered and used by the widest-possible audience seeking humanities-related content. The solicitation is a result of a 2022 memo from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy that called on all federal grant makers to establish plans for free, immediate, and equitable access to federally funded research. The NEH Public Access Plan will require NEH grantees who publish the results of their research in a peer-reviewed journal to submit a copy of the article (along with its metadata) to the NEH to be stored in the NDR.
