Here are a few main points the Grant funding team wanted to highlight:

These are planning grants. These planning grants are meant to give teams TIME to think through, together, as a collaborative team (including stakeholder community members), the many planning issues that will need to be addressed prior to implementation.
Planning for what? This program is designed to serve as the “onramp” to our implementation program, Publishing Historical Records in Collaborative Digital Editions (which offers the potential for up to 10 years of implementation funding). Teams are therefore planning for the development and implementation of a significant “Collaborative digital edition” project—one that provides “intellectual access” to an “intentional online research collection” designed to open up and further the possibilities for future research in the team’s disciplinary subject area(s).
Get in Touch! Please get in touch with Dr. Darrell Meadows (Acting Deputy Executive Director; Director for Publishing; National Historical Publications and Records Commission) directly via email (darrell.meadows@nara.gov). He is eager to meet new colleagues and do whatever he can to help you succeed and realize your collaborative and community-engaged vision for your ambitious projects.
