Through NEH-Mellon Fellowships for Digital Publication, the National Endowment for the Humanities and The Andrew W.

All projects must be interpretive.

Applicants must clearly articulate the intellectual significance of the proposed project, including value to humanities scholars, general audiences, or both.
