About this opportunity

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is offering grants through the Preservation and Access Education and Training program to support training that develops knowledge and skills among professionals responsible for preserving and providing access to humanities collections. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, higher education institutions, state and local governments, and federally recognized Native American Tribal governments. The program seeks to fund educational programs that enhance professionals' skills in preserving diverse humanities materials such as moving image, sound recordings, archaeological artifacts, digital collections, rare books, manuscripts, and archival records. Applications are due by June 17, 2025, with the anticipated award announcement in December 2025 and project periods starting between March and September 2026.

The available funding is approximately $2,700,000 to support around 10 grants of up to $350,000 each. The projects can have performance periods of up to three years, or three to five years for programs granting graduate degrees in art conservation. The program encourages addressing topics such as audiovisual and digital heritage preservation, emergency preparedness, and emerging preservation practices and technologies.
