The National Endowment for the Humanities' Summer Stipends program aims to stimulate new research in the humanities and its publication.
The program works to accomplish this goal by:
Providing small awards to individuals pursuing advanced research that is of value to humanities scholars, general audiences or both
Supporting projects at any stage of development, but especially early-stage research and late-stage writing in which small awards are most effective
Funding a wide range of individuals, including independent scholars, community college faculty and non-teaching staff at universities
Summer stipends support continuous full-time work on a humanities project for a period of two consecutive months. NEH funds may support recipients' compensation, travel and other costs related to the proposed scholarly research.
Tenure-track faculty applicants must be nominated by their institution to be eligible. A committee formed by the U of A Humanities Center will evaluate proposals, provide feedback and choose two nominees to be presented by Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation John English. For full consideration, applicants should provide the committee with their proposed NEH application narrative, bibliography and resume through the university's InfoReady system by Aug. 15.
You may apply without a nomination if you are:
non-tenure-track faculty at an institution of higher education
a staff member, but not faculty, at an institution of higher education (you may not teach during the academic year preceding the award)
emeritus faculty
