Opportunity Information: Apply for 20170412 HB
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) "Awards for Faculty" grant is a discretionary funding opportunity designed to support humanities-based research carried out by individual faculty and staff affiliated with specific institution types: Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) as designated by the U.S. Department of Education. The program is meant to strengthen and elevate humanities scholarship at these institutions by giving eligible individuals the time and resources to pursue research that will be valuable to humanities scholars, students, and/or general public audiences.
A defining feature of this opportunity is flexibility. Applicants are allowed to shape the project around the audience they want to reach (for example, specialized scholars, undergraduates, or community readers), the kind of research they plan to conduct, the length and structure of the award period, and the administrative arrangements that best fit their situation. In other words, the program is not limited to a single format like a book manuscript or a narrow set of deliverables; it is structured to accommodate different research pathways and outcomes as long as the foundation is clearly humanities research.
The grant can support a wide range of humanities research activities and products. Examples of eligible work include research in primary and secondary sources and the development of traditional scholarly outputs such as journal articles, monographs, and books. It also supports other forms of humanities dissemination and documentation, including digital materials and resources, archaeological site reports, translations, scholarly editions, and similar projects that create or improve resources for learning and scholarship. In addition to research aimed at publication or public dissemination, the program also allows projects focused on basic research that leads to improving an existing undergraduate course, as well as basic research connected to the goals and interests of the applicant's institution or community. Across all of these possibilities, the key requirement is that the proposed work is grounded in humanities research and that the research component is central to achieving the project goals.
Eligibility is limited to individuals rather than institutions as the primary applicants, although they must be affiliated with an eligible HSI, HBCU, or TCU. Specifically, the opportunity is open to full-time, part-time, adjunct, and retired faculty members, as well as staff members, provided they have the appropriate affiliation with an institution in one of the eligible categories. The funding instrument is a grant under CFDA number 45.160 (humanities), and the agency offering the program is the NEH. The listed maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $50,400. The original closing date in the provided notice is April 12, 2017 (Funding Opportunity Number 20170412 HB), and the opportunity record shows a creation date of February 7, 2017.Apply for 20170412 HB
