Opportunity Information: Apply for 20220517 PE
The Preservation and Access Education and Training program is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) through its Division of Preservation and Access. It is designed to strengthen the preservation field by funding education and training efforts that build practical knowledge and professional skills for people who are responsible for caring for, preserving, and expanding access to humanities collections. The central idea is workforce development: NEH is looking to support programs that help staff at cultural institutions become more effective stewards of collections with humanities value, such as archives, library holdings, museum collections, and other historically or culturally significant materials.
Funding is intended for organizations that run structured training programs at a national, regional, or statewide level. In practice, this means NEH is not simply funding preservation work on a single collection, but rather training initiatives that can reach and benefit a broader community of professionals. Supported activities typically include organized instruction such as workshops, courses, institutes, seminars, or other formal training formats that teach core preservation and access competencies. These programs are expected to equip participants with skills they can apply directly in their institutions, improving how collections are protected over time and how the public, researchers, and communities can discover and use them.
Eligible applicants span a wide range of public and nonprofit entities that commonly serve as anchors for cultural heritage training. This includes state, county, and local governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education institutions). The grant uses the standard grant funding instrument and falls under the humanities funding activity category (CFDA 45.149), aligning it with cultural affairs and humanities-related capacity building.
The opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 20220517 PE) was created on February 17, 2022, with an original application deadline of May 17, 2022. NEH anticipated making around 10 awards under this announcement, with an award ceiling of $350,000 per grant. Overall, the program is geared toward organizations that can demonstrate they have the expertise and reach to train cultural institution staff at scale, ultimately improving long-term preservation outcomes and strengthening public access to humanities collections across communities.Apply for 20220517 PE
