 The Intermuseum Conservation Association and the Ohio Preservation Council will present a daylong workshop on preparing for and writing grants for digitization and/or preservation projects.  The session is based upon the requirements for the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), and the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), as  these granting entities fund most digitization and preservation grants. Developing proposals for state, local and foundation funding sources will also be addressed.  The workshop includes matching your institution's project with the appropriate funding agency and preparing to write a proposal.  The majority of the day is spent covering
the elements of a grant proposal and practicing writing those elements.
    This workshop will focus on preparing NEH Preservation Assistance Grants,
due in mid-May 2004.  In addition, this session will allow participants to
review and discuss a grant proposal.
Outcomes:  The ability to properly choose and prepare a grant proposal
including:
    Evaluating appropriate funding sources
    Project preparation
    Hands-on practice in preparing a proposal
