Opportunity Summary:
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Collaborative Research grant is designed to fund original humanities research carried out by teams of two or more scholars. It supports both full-time and part-time work over a substantial period, with projects lasting at least one year and up to a maximum of three years. The program is built for genuinely collaborative scholarship, and it can cover a wide range of needs that typically come with multi-person research, including compensation for scholars and consultants, research assistant support, project-related travel, fieldwork, information technology applications, and other technical services required to complete the work.
NEH is looking for projects that make a meaningful contribution to knowledge in the humanities and that are capable of producing results that matter to both scholarly communities and the broader public. Funded work is expected to culminate in clear and accessible dissemination of findings, with examples of grant products including monographs, excavation reports, multi-authored volumes, and websites. Because NEH is a taxpayer-supported federal agency, it places real emphasis on public availability of outcomes. In cases where projects develop websites, NEH states that, all else being equal, it prefers projects that provide free public access.
The types of activities that fit this opportunity are fairly broad, as long as they are anchored in humanities questions and methods. NEH lists four major categories of eligible projects: first, research that substantially adds to understanding in the humanities; second, conferences on topics of major significance in the humanities that are expected to strengthen or advance scholarly research; third, archaeological projects that do more than excavate by also interpreting and communicating results, potentially covering excavation, lab and materials analysis, field reporting, and preparation of interpretive monographs; and fourth, humanities-based research that uses historical or philosophical approaches to deepen understanding of science, technology, medicine, and the social sciences.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant program (CFDA 45.161, Promotion of the Humanities: Research). The opportunity anticipated around 30 awards, with an award ceiling of $300,000 and no stated award floor. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants are wide-ranging and include individuals, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, public and private institutions of higher education, and multiple levels of government (including city or township, county, state, special district, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments). The posted date for this specific announcement was July 21, 2010, with an application closing date of October 28, 2010 (archived November 27, 2010), under funding opportunity number 20101028-RZ.
NEH also points applicants to practical proposal-help resources. Sample narratives from successful applications are available in the Program Resources section of the program guidelines webpage, and additional samples can be requested by email at collaborative@neh.gov. For program questions, applicants can contact NEH's Division of Research Programs at 202-606-8200 or by email, with TDD access available for hearing-impaired applicants at 1-866-372-2930. Additional program guidance is available at http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/Collaborative.html.
