In addition, the USA Grant program will launch a new Solicited USA
Grant Initiative focusing on six countries as they relate to USIP's
mandate: Colombia, Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Sudan.
Applicants may apply at any time throughout the year.
Under both initiatives, applicants may seek funding for research,
educational, training, and related projects implemented both in the
U.S. and abroad, although preference will be given in the Solicited
USA Grant Initiative to applications that originate in Colombia, Iraq,
Nigeria, Pakistan, and Sudan. Priority will be given to initiatives
focusing on Iranian relations with the West and with its neighbors in
the region, and on Iran's role in regional and international affairs.
Nonprofit organizations, public institutions, and individuals in the
U.S. and abroad may apply for either initiative


The National Historical Publications and Records Commission has
awarded $2.8 million for 34 projects in 22 states and the District of
Columbia for preserving and publishing historical records. At the
November meeting, the Commission also welcomed its newest members, the
Honorable John Larson, member of the House of Representatives from
Connecticut, and Roy Tryon, state archivist of South Carolina,
representing the National Association of Government Archivists and
Records Administrators, who replaces Tim Slavin.
USA Grant recommendations include $1.3 million to seven documentary
editing projects from the Founding Era of the nation. Six subventions
were awarded to university presses to defray the cost of publishing
new volumes of the papers of George Washington, Ulysses S. Grant, Jane
Addams and others. The University of Wisconsin will receive funding to
continue its work at the Institute for Editing Historical Documents.
State partnership grants were awarded to Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, New
Mexico, and Wisconsin to address state needs through subgrants and
other efforts. Basic administrative support was awarded to 10 states
to support the work of Historical Records Advisory Boards in Arizona,
California, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, Tennessee,
Texas, and Wyoming. The Commission approved a substantial revision to
the State and National Archival Partnership grant program that will
strengthen the nation's network of archives at the state government
level.
Electronic records grants were recommended for projects at Emory
University in Atlanta for its MetaArchive program to provide
sustainable digital preservation services for cultural and historical
records; Tufts University in Atlanta; Johns Hopkins in Baltimore; and
the Supercomputer Center at the University of California, San Diego,
to support its Distributed Custodial Preservation Center for
electronic records.
