If you are developing new digital humanities work responding to the coronavirus pandemic - but not seeking relief for at-risk humanities positions and projects - consider applying to our Digital Humanities Advancement Grants program instead. https://www.neh.gov/grants/odh/digital-humanities-advancement-grants
This is a stressful time for everyone, and we hope that this emergency relief opportunity may alleviate some of the stress, in the short-term.
