Projects may also focus on techniques and tools that will improve the professional performance and effectiveness of those who work with such records, such as archivists, documentary editors, and records managers. Projects must anticipate results that will affect more than a single institution or a single state.<o:p></o:p></p><p style='margin-top:0in'>Projects may focus on methods of working with records in any format, including born-digital records. Projects designed to publish historical records must focus on innovative methods of presenting archival records as primary sources. The Commission does not fund projects focused on artifacts or books. For a comprehensive list of the Commission's limitations on funding, please see <a href="http://www.archives.gov/nhprc/apply/eligibility.html">What We Do and Do Not Fund</a> (<a href="http://www.archives.gov/nhprc/apply/eligibility.html">http://www.archives.gov/nhprc/apply/eligibility.html</a>). Applications that consist entirely of ineligible activities will not be considered.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Applications will need to address the problem being addressed, the likely audiences for the solution, partners to test the solutions, and quantifiable performance metrics. <o:p></o:p></p><p>Recent awards:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b>Simmons College</b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Boston, MA $102,602<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>To support a three-year project to develop training for municipal and county clerks in preserving the archival records under their care.
