The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Division of Research Programs is accepting applications for the NEH - Mellon Fellowships for Digital Publication program.

The purpose of this program is to support individual scholars pursuing significant humanities projects that require digital expression and digital publication.  NEH - Mellon Fellowships for Digital Publication provide recipients time to conduct research, prepare publications, and develop and incorporate multimedia components using existing technologies and platforms.  Anticipated products must be published in digital form and include, but are not limited to, monographs, peer-reviewed articles, websites, virtual exhibitions, translations with annotations or a critical apparatus, or critical editions resulting from previous research.

NEH - Mellon Fellowships provide recipients time to conduct research and prepare digital publications. Successful projects will likely incorporate images, video, audio, manipulable elements, and/or other multimedia materials or flexible reading pathways that could not be included in traditionally published books, as well as an active distribution plan. Anticipated products must be published in digital form and include, but are not limited to, monographs, peer-reviewed articles, websites, virtual exhibitions, translations with annotations or a critical apparatus, or critical editions. Projects may be at any stage of development.
