Opportunity Summary:
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) "Awards for Faculty" program is a discretionary grant opportunity designed to support humanities-focused research by individual faculty and staff at certain minority-serving institutions. It specifically targets scholars affiliated with Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs), with the goal of helping them carry out research that will be valuable to humanities scholars, students, and/or the broader public. A key feature of the program is its flexibility: applicants can shape the project around the audience they want to reach, the kind of humanities research they plan to do, the timeline for completing the work, and the administrative setup that best fits their circumstances and institutional environment.
The scope of eligible work is broad as long as it is clearly grounded in humanities research and that research is central to achieving the project goals. Supported activities can include investigating primary and secondary sources and developing scholarly outputs such as peer-reviewed articles, monographs, books, and other major research publications. The program also supports digital humanities materials and resources, archaeological site reports, translations, critical editions, and other forms of scholarly tools or reference works that benefit the field. In addition to projects aimed at producing traditional or digital scholarly products, the grant can also fund foundational research that leads to improvements in an existing undergraduate course or that advances institutional or community research objectives, provided that humanities research is the core driver of the work. Regardless of what an applicant proposes to produce, every application is expected to demonstrate a strong humanities research basis that directly supports the project.
Funding ranges from an award floor of $8,400 to an award ceiling of $50,400, and the opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds. The funding instrument is a grant, and it falls under the NEH funding activity category of Humanities, associated with CFDA number 45.160 (Promotion of the Humanities: Fellowships and Stipends). The opportunity was posted on February 2, 2015, with an application deadline of April 15, 2015 (as listed for both the original and current closing dates).
Eligibility is limited to individuals rather than institutions in general. The only eligible applicants are full-time, part-time, adjunct, and retired faculty members, as well as staff members, as long as they are affiliated with an HSI, HBCU, or TCU. Applicants who need the full announcement or have trouble accessing it electronically are directed to contact NEH's Division of Research Programs.
