  1. Update. So far, so good. But reinstating those #NEH grants is a mess, especially when grantees have incompatible new commitments.

    PS: When these complexities mean the grants can't be reinstated, the original #DOGE cuts win. This is like many other #Trump actions: move fast and break things; some cannot be repaired.

  6. A federal judge just overturned the Trump admin termination of 1,400+ research grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities (#NEH).

    The grants were terminated by #DOGE in April 2025, and amounted to more than $100 million.

    * See the judge's ruling.

    NEH Collections Stewardship. $50K-$500K. Funds conservation and digitization of humanities collections. From their 2026 guidelines, page 8: "Individuals...are ineligible." I digitize humanities collections. That's the program. I'm the individual. #preservation #NEH #archives #digipres

    NEH Sustaining Cultural Heritage Collections. Up to $420,000. Must be a cultural institution. For environmental controls in buildings. The guidelines say: "Individuals are not eligible to apply."

  29. Two DOGE twenty-something’s with no experience or expertise walked into the National Endowment for the Humanities in March 2025.

    Neither had ever administered a grant. Neither had read a humanities proposal. Neither knew what the Administrative Procedures Act was. They were just two guys from Elon Musk’s world armed with ChatGPT and six weeks to gut a federal agency. By April 1st, $100 million in grants was gone. Sixty-five percent of the staff was fired.
