Opportunity Summary:
Awards for Faculty is a discretionary grant program from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) that funds individual faculty and staff affiliated with certain minority-serving institutions who want to carry out humanities research with clear value for scholars, students, and/or the general public. The program is built around flexibility, meaning applicants are not boxed into a single format or outcome. Instead, they can shape the project around the audience they want to reach, the kind of humanities research they plan to conduct, the length and timing of the award period, and the administrative setup that makes the most sense for their situation and institution. In practice, this makes the opportunity suitable for a wide variety of humanities-focused research agendas, from traditional scholarship to work that leads to practical educational or community benefits.
Eligibility is limited to individuals rather than institutions, and specifically to full-time, part-time, adjunct, and retired staff members who are affiliated with minority-serving institutions designated by the U.S. Department of Education. The program is targeted to faculty and staff at Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs). While the grant is awarded through NEH, the eligibility hinges on the applicant being tied to one of these federally recognized minority-serving institutions, so applicants generally need to ensure their institutional affiliation aligns with the Department of Education designation referenced in the announcement.
The work supported must be grounded in humanities research, but the program is intentionally broad about what that can look like. Supported activities include research in primary and secondary sources and the creation of a wide range of scholarly and public-facing products. Examples named in the announcement include articles, monographs, books, digital materials, archaeological site reports, translations, editions, and other scholarly resources. The scope also includes foundational or background research that strengthens teaching and learning, such as research that leads to improving an existing undergraduate course. In addition, projects may be aimed at helping an institution or local community meet defined research goals, which signals that NEH is open to outcomes that connect scholarship to institutional development or community-centered knowledge-building, as long as the work is humanities-based and research-driven.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 20140415 HB) anticipated making around 10 awards. Individual awards range from a floor of $8,400 up to a ceiling of $50,400, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for applicants who may not have access to additional institutional funds. The assistance is offered as a grant under CFDA 45.160 (Promotion of the Humanities: Fellowships and Stipends), reinforcing that this funding is meant to support the time and effort required for sustained humanities research and related deliverables rather than requiring a match.
Key dates in the posted announcement show it was published on February 11, 2014, with an application deadline of April 15, 2014 (the original and current closing date listed are the same).
