Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Fellowships" (Funding Opportunity Number 20160428-FA), is a discretionary grant program from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) designed to support individuals carrying out advanced humanities research. It is aimed at projects with clear value to humanities scholars, the general public, or both, and it is flexible about where a project sits in its lifecycle, meaning applicants can propose work that is in an early, middle, or later stage of development.
The program funds individual scholarly work that typically results in substantial humanities outputs. Common deliverables include peer-oriented or public-facing articles, monographs and books, digital humanities materials, archaeological site reports, translations, critical editions, and other major scholarly resources. In practice, the fellowship is meant to buy dedicated time for sustained research, analysis, writing, and production, with the expectation that the work will culminate in a meaningful contribution to humanities knowledge and access.
A notable feature of this opportunity is the pathway for projects that are inherently digital. Applicants whose research requires digital expression and digital publication are encouraged to consider the NEH-Mellon Fellowships for Digital Publication, a joint initiative between NEH and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. This special option is meant for projects where the digital form is not just a preferred format but a research necessity. In other words, to be eligible under the NEH-Mellon digital publication emphasis, the project should be conceived as digital from the start because the core research questions, evidence, or interpretive approach cannot be adequately presented in a traditional print publication. Competitive projects under this digital emphasis are likely to integrate elements such as images, audiovisual media, interactive components, or non-linear and flexible reading pathways that conventional books cannot easily support.
Eligibility is limited to individuals (not organizations). The activity area is Humanities (CFDA 45.160). The listed award ceiling is $50,400. The opportunity was posted on February 26, 2016, created the same day, and carried an application deadline of April 28, 2016 (original and current closing dates match).
