Opportunity Summary:
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) "Awards for Faculty" program is a discretionary grant opportunity designed to support humanities research by individual faculty and staff members affiliated with Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs). The core purpose is to help these scholars pursue projects that contribute meaningful knowledge or resources for humanities scholars, students, and/or the general public. A key feature of the program is flexibility: applicants can shape their projects around the audience they want to reach, the type of humanities work they plan to produce, the time period needed to complete the work, and the administrative setup that best fits their circumstances.
Funding can be used for a wide range of humanities-based research activities. Projects may involve deep work in primary and secondary source materials and can lead to traditional scholarly outputs such as journal articles, monographs, and books. The program also welcomes outputs beyond print scholarship, including digital materials, archaeological site reports, translations, critical editions, and other scholarly resources that make humanities knowledge more accessible or usable. In addition, the program supports research that directly strengthens undergraduate education, such as foundational research that results in substantial improvements to an existing course, as well as projects that advance institutional or community research goals. Regardless of format or end product, every competitive application must be grounded in humanities research that clearly supports the project goals.
Eligibility is limited to individuals rather than institutions. Only individual faculty members and staff members, including retirees, who are affiliated with an HSI, HBCU, or TCU may apply, and applicants are expected to consult NEH program guidelines to confirm that their institution qualifies. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which can make participation more feasible for applicants and campuses with limited discretionary resources.
For this specific funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 20130416 HB; CFDA 45.160, Promotion of the Humanities - Fellowships and Stipends), the opportunity was posted on February 4, 2013, with an application deadline of April 16, 2013, and an archive date of May 16, 2013. The maximum award amount listed is $50,400, with no stated minimum award floor.
