NEH grant

[John Unsworth]

The TEI received a two-year grant of $131,705 from the National Endowment 
for the Humanities, Division of Preservation and Access, in May of 
2001.  Because the TEI did not, at that point, have IRS certification as a 
non-profit corporation, the grant is administered at the University of 
Virginia (IRS certification was received in January of 2002).  The workplan 
and budget for that grant appear below, and will be discussed at the 
January 12, 2002 meeting of the TEI Council.
