## What the grant funds

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Office of Digital Humanities, in partnership with the NEH Division of Research Programs, is accepting applications for the Fellowships Open Book Program. This limited competition aims to award publishers a $5,500 grant to release open access digital editions of books whose underlying research was funded by one of the following NEH programs: Fellowships; NEH-Mellon Fellowships for Digital Publication; Awards for Faculty at Hispanic-Serving Institutions; Awards for Faculty at Historically Black Colleges and Universities; Awards for Faculty at Tribal Colleges and Universities; Summer Stipends; Fellowships for Advanced Social Science Research on Japan; or Public Scholars. Each e-book will be released under a Creative Commons license, making those books free for anyone to download. The book could be a forthcoming title (to be open access upon first release) or it could be a book that was first released at any time during or after calendar year 2015. NEH-supported books that were reissued or published in new editions during this period are also permitted.
