•Universities and university consortia should develop new and support existing humanities and social sciences computing centers. (p. 6)
•NSF, NEH, IMLS, the Mellon Foundation, and other funding agencies should support the development of tools for the analysis of digital content. (p. 7)
•The NEA, NEH, and IMLS should work together to promote collaboration…. (p. 7)

More about Advancing Knowledge Grants• The collaborations might serve as models for the
field. • We will expect grantees to create a “lessons
learned” white paper about their project so that others can benefit from their experience.
• Like Start-up Grants, projects can cut across NEH’s traditional boundaries.
• The deadline is March 27 for grants of up to $350,000.
• Guidelines are now on the NEH website.
• This new DHI program is a partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
• It is aimed at fostering large-scale digital humanities collaborations among libraries, museums, archives, and universities.
• We want projects that explore new ways to share, examine, or interpret humanities collections in a digital environment.
• Projects might develop new uses and audiences for existing digital resources.
