Description

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Division of Research Programs is accepting applications for the Scholarly Editions and Scholarly Translations program. The purpose of this program is to support collaborative teams who are editing, annotating, and translating foundational humanities texts that are vital to learning and research but are currently inaccessible or are available only in inadequate editions or translations. Typically, the texts are significant literary, philosophical, and historical materials, but other types of work, such as musical notation, may also be the subject of an edition.
