NEH Digital Humanities Grants
 

[Psssst!   You might be eligible for a grant from NEH! 
No, this isn't a late-night infomercial or spam.  This is real, but I wanted to get your attention.
Others have already gotten NEH funding for exciting projects in the humanities that involve effective uses of information technology.]
