GENERAL
17-1 Grants for Graduate Student
Fellowships (KSU)
The K-State Center for Sustainable Energy
(CSE) seeks proposals from eligible KState faculty in support of graduate student
assistantships for projects related to
enhancing research on renewable energy
topics at K-State. These assistantships are
intended to expand the current research
base at K-State and encourage new
research clusters addressing issues related
to renewable energy. Preference will be
given to interdisciplinary projects with a
history of success and potential for attracting extramural funding. There will be a
meeting in the K-State Union Big 12
Room on Thursday, May 15, 2008 at 9:00
a.m. to introduce CSE to the K-State
research community and to further discuss
the RFP.

ARTS & HUMANITIES
17-2 Fellowships at Digital Humanities
Vol. 17, No. 17
Centers (FDHC) (NEH)
FDHCs support collaboration between
digital centers and individual scholars.
An award provides funding for both a stipend for the fellow while in residence at
the center and a portion of the center’s
costs for hosting a fellow. The intellectual cooperation between the visiting
scholar and the center may take many
different forms and may involve humanities scholars of any level of digital expertise. Each application will include one
digital humanities center and one individual scholar. Center eligibility is limited to digital humanities centers
affiliated with either American institutions of higher education or U.S. nonprofit organizations or institutions with
IRS 501(c)(3) tax exempt status. Centers
may submit one application per deadline;
individual scholars may apply in collaboration with only one digital center per
deadline.

17-3 Electronic Records Projects
(NARA)
The National Historical Publications and
Records Commission promotes the preservation and use of America’s documentary heritage essential to understanding
our democracy, history, and culture. The
focus of the NHPRC’s Electronic
Records grant program is to support
projects that will lead to sustainable electronic records archives that preserve digital records with enduring historical
value. Projects cannot use grant funds to
digitize historical records. Applicants
who wish to digitize records should refer
to the Digitizing Historical records
announcement. Applications should be
for projects that: Develop institutional
capacity through program evaluation and
planning; Create institutional capacity
with program start-up support; Expand
the scope of existing programs; or
Develop electronic records service providers that can offer reliable preservation
services to archives.

17-4 Digitizing Historical Records
(NARA)
The National Historical Publications and
Records Commission promotes the preservation and use of America’s documentary heritage essential to understanding
our democracy, history and culture. The
Commission seeks proposals that use
cost-effective methods to digitize nationally-significant historical record collections and make the digital versions freely
available on the Internet. Projects must
make use of existing holdings of historical repositories and be made up of entire
collections or series. The materials should
already be available to the public at the
archives and described so that projects
can re-use existing information to create
metadata for the digitized collection.
