National Archives and Records Administration

Description

The National Historical Publications and Records Commission seeks proposals to improve the training and education of professionals in the archival and historical publishing communities. Projects can be for professional education curriculum development; for basic and advanced institutes; or research seminars. Surveys, focus groups, and other activities to understand these professions and their educational and training needs are also eligible. In general, projects should anticipate results that will affect individuals in more than a single state. If your project is focused only on a single state, the proposal narrative must explain why the State Historical Records Advisory Board in your state cannot manage the proposed project. If staff review cannot find the information, the application will be ineligible. This program does not support requests from individuals for their own training, education, or professional advancement. For a comprehensive list of the Commission's limitations on funding, please see What We Do and Do Not Fund (http://www.archives.gov/nhprc/apply/eligibility.html). Additional requirements and information can be found in the full version of the grant announcement, linked below.
