[MEI-L] FW: NEH/DLF Grant

[Roland, Perry (pdr4h)]

We got the grant!

I assume that Joachim will be notified soon by the DFG if he hasn't been already.

I don't know if the convention is the same in Germany, but we're expected to keep things quiet (at least we're not supposed to run to the press) until the "official" announcement.  It's probably a good idea if we all just keep this to ourselves for the time being.  That way perhaps we can maximize the "splash" of announcing it to the whole world.

Congrats to everyone who worked on or reviewed the application.

Hello everybody,

I am thrilled to report that our Digital Music Notation Data Model and Prototype Delivery System – A DFG/NEH Bilateral Digital Humanities Program: Bilateral Symposia and Workshops Proposal has been accepted. While no official paperwork has been exchanged, we have been given clearance to relay this message to all grant participants with the following conditions:

Please no speaking to the press about this until it is official
If somebody from Congress calls we are to act surprised and appreciative (this made me chuckle!)

Official documents for our grants office should soon follow and our program officer will be contacting me next week.

Wonderful news – a sincere thank you for all of your hard work. What a way to head into the weekend!
