Opportunity Summary:
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Collaborative Research Grants program funds interpretive humanities research carried out by teams of two or more scholars. The core idea is to support substantial collaborative work that benefits from multiple researchers working together, whether the project is structured as full-time or part-time effort. Grants can run from one to three years, and the program expects that the research will culminate in clear communication of results to both scholarly audiences and, where appropriate, broader public audiences.
The program is designed to cover a wide range of project needs that commonly arise in multi-person humanities research. Funding may be used for different combinations of participant roles, including scholars, consultants, and research assistants. It can also support practical project costs such as research-related travel, field work, applications of information technology, and the technical support and services needed to complete the work. In short, it is meant to underwrite the real infrastructure of collaborative humanities scholarship, not just the writing phase.
NEH highlights several types of projects that fit especially well within this opportunity. One category is research that significantly expands knowledge and understanding in the humanities through interpretive analysis (rather than purely descriptive or administrative work). Another is conferences focused on major humanities topics, as long as the conference is structured to advance scholarly research and produce lasting value for the field. The program also welcomes archaeological projects, provided they are not limited to excavation alone and instead emphasize interpretation and communication of findings; eligible archaeological work may include excavation, materials analysis, laboratory work, field reports, and preparation of interpretive monographs. A further eligible area involves humanities-informed research that uses historical or philosophical methods to deepen understanding of science, technology, medicine, and the social sciences, connecting humanistic perspectives with these other domains.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant program (Funding Opportunity Number 20141209-RZ) under CFDA 45.161 (Promotion of the Humanities - Research). The posted date and creation date are both October 3, 2014, with an application deadline of December 9, 2014. Awards can range from as little as 1 dollar up to a ceiling of 300,000 dollars, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is broad and includes individuals as well as many organization types: public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including both 501(c)(3) and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status other than institutions of higher education), and various government entities (state, county, city or township, special district), along with federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Questions about the program are directed to NEH's Division of Research Programs at 202-606-8200 or collaborative@neh.gov, and the program page is listed at http://www.neh.gov/grants/research/collaborative research grants.
