The National Endowment for the Humanities Collaborative Research Grants
Program invites applications for its September 1, 2001 deadline. 
Collaborative Research grants support original research undertaken by a team
of two or more scholars or research coordinated by an individual scholar
that because of its scope or complexity requires additional staff or
resources beyond the individual's salary. Eligible projects include research
leading to the preparation of scholarly publications that break new ground
or offer fresh perspectives; editions of works or documents that are of
value to scholars and general readers and have been previously inaccessible
or available only in inadequate editions; annotated translations into
English of works that provide insight into other cultures; and conferences
addressing a topic of major significance to the humanities. Applicants must
make a convincing case for the importance of the project, describe sound
research methods and a practical work plan, and demonstrate that appropriate
staff and institutional resources are available and committed. 
These grants support full-time or part-time activities for periods of up to
three years. Support is available for various combinations of scholars,
consultants, and research assistants; project-related travel; field work;
and technical support and services. All grantees are expected to disseminate
the results of their work. 
Application forms and guidelines can be located at
http://www.neh.gov/grants/onebook/collresearch.html, or contact the
Collaborative Research program office at Collaborativeneh.gov.

Those interested in the thread begun by Doug Whalen on web archiving 
Linguist 12.1446
may find useful the homepages of the Qualidata unit here at U Essex. It 
was set up to encourage qualitative researchers in the Uk to use each 
other's data and archive their own. Beginning with oral history and 
sociology data, it has expanded considerably, including linguistic 
data. It has a useful set of resources for those wanting to know about 
archiving, data-sharing, confidentiality issues, etc. Start at:
