Opportunity Summary:
Awards for Faculty is a discretionary grant program from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) that provides direct support to individual faculty members working at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs), and Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs). The central goal is to fund humanities research that has clear value for humanities scholars, students, and/or general audiences. A key feature of this opportunity is flexibility: applicants are allowed to shape the project around the audience they want to reach, the kind of research they plan to do, the length and timing of the award period, and the administrative setup that best fits their institution and work plan.
The grant can support a broad range of humanities-based research activities and final products. Fundable efforts include research in primary and secondary sources that results in publishable scholarship such as articles, monographs, and books, as well as digital materials and other publicly usable research outputs. The program also recognizes humanities work that produces field-specific resources such as archaeological site reports, translations, scholarly editions, and similar reference or scholarly tools. In addition to conventional research and publication goals, the opportunity explicitly supports basic research that leads to practical outcomes in teaching and institutional or community impact, such as improving an existing undergraduate course or advancing research goals tied to an institution or community.
This is a grant (FundingInstrumentType: Grant) categorized under Humanities and tied to CFDA 45.160, Promotion of the Humanities (Fellowships and Stipends). The eligible applicant type is Individuals, meaning the application is submitted by the faculty member rather than an institution as the applicant entity, consistent with the program focus on supporting individual scholars.
