Opportunity Summary:
The Humanities Initiatives for Faculty at HBCUs grant is a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) funding opportunity designed to strengthen and expand humanities teaching, learning, and scholarship at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. The program supports projects that enrich the humanities content of existing academic offerings, create new humanities programs, or help an institution lay the groundwork for larger, longer-term humanities efforts. A key requirement is that each proposed project is organized around a clear core topic or set of themes, which serves as the intellectual center for the activities and outcomes.
The types of activities NEH is looking to fund are broad, but they all connect back to building capacity in the humanities. Projects may bring faculty together for sustained study and professional development so they can deepen subject knowledge and improve humanities instruction. Funding can also support faculty and administrators as they design or strengthen humanities programs, including (but not limited to) academic writing initiatives, foreign language programs, new humanities minors, first-year seminars, capstone experiences, and summer bridge programs that help at-risk high school students prepare for college-level humanities work. The opportunity also encourages institutions to better use humanities resources, particularly digital humanities tools and approaches, and to address core needs in humanities curricula where there are gaps or underdeveloped areas.
Another emphasis of the program is collaboration and relationship-building. Proposed initiatives can be structured to build ties across more than one institution of higher learning, to connect college faculty with secondary school teachers and students, or to link campus humanities work with partners in museums, libraries, and other cultural organizations such as historical or cultural societies. NEH notes that applications from all humanities disciplines are welcome and will be treated equally during peer review, meaning proposals are not favored based on a particular humanities field as long as they are clearly grounded in the humanities and meet the program goals.
This is a discretionary grant program (Funding Opportunity Number 20110630 AB) offered under CFDA 45.162, Promotion of the Humanities: Teaching and Learning Resources and Curriculum Development. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The maximum award amount listed is $100,000, with no stated minimum award floor. Eligibility is limited to U.S. nonprofit, 501(c)(3) tax-exempt Historically Black Colleges and Universities as defined by Executive Order 13532, specifically those appearing on the U.S. Department of Education list of HBCUs.
For this specific posting cycle, the opportunity was posted on April 15, 2011 (created April 13, 2011), with an application deadline of June 30, 2011, and an archive date of July 30, 2011. Additional program details and guidance were provided by NEH at http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/HIHBCU.html. For applicant support, the contact point was the NEH Division of Education Programs, Room 302, 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20506, phone 202-606-8463, email hi@neh.gov.
