Opportunity Summary:
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Collaborative Research Grants program (Funding Opportunity Number 20140107 RZ) funds interpretive humanities research carried out by teams of two or more scholars. The central idea is to support projects where collaboration is essential to the research goals, whether the team members are working full time or part time. Projects can run from one to three years, and NEH expects recipients to share results with both scholarly communities and broader public audiences in appropriate ways, such as publications, reports, conferences, or other forms of dissemination.
The grant is designed to cover a wide range of research-related costs that commonly come up in multi-person humanities projects. Funding can support different combinations of scholars, consultants, and research assistants, along with project travel, fieldwork, and the use of information technology. It can also pay for technical support and specialized services needed to complete the research, which is especially relevant for projects involving complex data, digital methods, or laboratory and materials work connected to humanities interpretation.
NEH lists several major categories of projects that fit this opportunity. First are collaborative research efforts that make a significant contribution to knowledge and understanding in the humanities. Second are conferences focused on topics of major importance in the humanities, specifically when the convening is expected to advance scholarly research rather than serve as a general public event alone. Third are archaeological projects, as long as they emphasize interpretation and communication of results; NEH notes that this can include excavation, materials analysis, lab work, field reports, and the preparation of interpretive monographs. Fourth are projects that apply humanities perspectives and historical or philosophical methods to deepen understanding of science, technology, medicine, and the social sciences, essentially supporting humanistic inquiry into how these fields develop, operate, and affect society.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant program in the Humanities activity category under CFDA 45.161 (Promotion of the Humanities - Research). The program anticipated about 15 awards for the cycle described, with an award floor of 1 and a maximum (ceiling) of $300,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to provide non-federal matching funds to be eligible.
Eligibility is broad and includes individuals and many types of organizations and governments. Eligible applicants listed include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including those with 501(c)(3) status and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status other than higher education institutions), and multiple levels of government such as city or township governments, county governments, special district governments, state governments, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments.
Key timeline details in the source information show the opportunity was posted October 21, 2013, created November 8, 2013, and had a closing date of January 7, 2014 (original and current closing dates match).
