Opportunity Summary:
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Fellowships program (Funding Opportunity Number 20100504-FA) is a discretionary grant opportunity designed to support individual scholars conducting advanced humanities research. The central purpose of the fellowship is to provide sustained time for full-time, uninterrupted work on a significant research project that will contribute value to humanities scholars, the general public, or both. Typical outcomes include peer-reviewed articles, scholarly monographs and books, digital scholarly resources, archaeological site reports, translations, critical editions, and other forms of research-based humanities scholarship intended to advance knowledge or make important materials accessible.
A key feature of this program is that it funds continuous full-time effort for a period ranging from six to twelve months. In practical terms, the fellowship is meant to function as a concentrated research-and-writing period rather than partial support spread over a longer timeframe. The award ceiling listed for this opportunity is $50,400, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor $0). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds or provide a match to be eligible.
Eligibility is limited to individuals (not institutions), reflecting the program's emphasis on supporting a scholar's dedicated time and labor rather than organizational programming. The funding activity category is Humanities, and the CFDA listing associated with the program is 45.160 (Promotion of the Humanities - Fellowships and Stipends). The opportunity was posted on January 19, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 4, 2010, and an archive date of June 3, 2010, indicating the specific cycle referenced in the source material is no longer open, though the program itself has historically run in recurring cycles.
The announcement also clearly outlines what the funds cannot be used for, which helps define the program's boundaries. NEH Fellowships are not intended to support the creation of curricular or pedagogical tools, classroom methods, teaching theories, or survey courses, nor are they meant for preparing or revising textbooks. The program excludes projects that primarily promote a particular political, philosophical, religious, or ideological viewpoint, as well as projects that advocate a specific program of social action. It also does not fund creative or performing arts projects such as painting, creative writing (fiction or poetry), dance, or performance-based work. Finally, the fellowship cannot be used to support doctoral dissertations or theses, signaling that the program is aimed at postdoctoral or otherwise established researchers working beyond degree requirements.
