Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Fellowships" (Funding Opportunity Number 20130501-FA), was offered by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to support individual scholars conducting advanced humanities research. The program is designed for projects that will matter to humanities specialists, general readers, or both, and it is intentionally broad in the kinds of outcomes it supports. Rather than limiting applicants to one format or one stage of work, NEH signals that fellowships can help move a project forward whether it is in early development, mid-research, or nearing completion, as long as the work contributes meaningfully to the humanities.
The fellowship funding is meant to provide time and resources for sustained scholarly work that results in substantive public or scholarly products. NEH notes that typical outcomes include peer-reviewed articles, monographs and books, and other major scholarly publications, but it also recognizes a wide range of humanities outputs. These include digital materials, archaeological site reports, translations, critical editions, and other resources that expand access to humanities knowledge or preserve and interpret cultural and historical materials. In practice, this framing makes the opportunity relevant to many disciplines and methods across the humanities, including history, literature, philosophy, religious studies, classics, art history, anthropology (when humanistic in approach), and related fields.
Administratively, the opportunity falls under a discretionary grant program using the grant funding instrument, with the funding activity category listed as Humanities and the CFDA number 45.160 (Promotion of the Humanities: Fellowships and Stipends). The eligibility category is limited to individuals, meaning the applicant is the scholar rather than an institution. No cost sharing or matching is required, which reduces barriers for applicants who do not have institutional funding to contribute. The stated award ceiling is $50,400, and the award floor is listed as $0, indicating that awards can vary up to that maximum depending on NEH guidelines and the specifics of the proposed fellowship period and budget structure.
Key dates for this specific cycle show that the announcement was posted and created on February 20, 2013, with an application deadline of May 1, 2013. The archive date is May 31, 2013, which indicates the opportunity was tied to that application round and then moved into an archived status shortly afterward. Applicants looking for the full details, rules, and submission requirements were directed to the NEH program page at http://www.neh.gov/grants/research/fellowships, which typically includes guidance on eligibility nuances, allowable activities, evaluation criteria, period of performance, and application components.
For direct assistance, NEH provided contact information through its Division of Research Programs, located in Room 318 at 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20506. The phone number listed is 202-606-8200, and the program email is fellowships@neh.gov.
