Trump Presidency: Election, Transition, and Administration

Additionally:

• The National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) funded LITS' Electronic Records Start-up Project in 2010-2011.  There was no mention of NHPRC in the March 2017 budget blueprint; we will need to wait until May's full budget release for more details on the NHPRC grant program.
• MHC has not received funding from these agencies in the last 5 years, but the budget blueprint also proposes their elimination:
  • National Endowment for the Arts (NEA): see their statement on the budget blueprint.
  • Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB):  see their statement on the budget blueprint.

Examples of MHC funded grant projects include:

• CollegeWomen: Documenting the Women in Higher Education (LITS; NEH)
