Opportunity Summary:
The Humanities Initiatives for Faculty at Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) grant is a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) discretionary funding opportunity designed to strengthen and expand humanities teaching and scholarship at eligible TCUs. The program is meant to support projects that either improve the humanities content of programs that already exist, create new humanities-focused programs, or help an institution build a strong foundation for larger, longer-term humanities efforts in the future. A central requirement is that each proposed project is organized around a clearly defined core topic or a related set of themes, so the work has an intellectual center rather than being a loose collection of activities.
A key purpose of the grant is faculty development tied directly to better humanities instruction. Projects can be structured as shared study experiences where faculty members learn together in ways that deepen their knowledge and improve their capacity to teach humanities subjects. The program also supports planning and development work by faculty and administrators to create or strengthen humanities programs on campus. Examples of program development mentioned in the announcement include academic writing programs, foreign language programs, new humanities minors, first-year seminar courses, capstone courses, and summer bridge programs aimed at supporting at-risk high school students. In addition, the opportunity encourages institutions to make stronger use of humanities resources, with particular emphasis on digital humanities where appropriate, and to address basic needs within core humanities curricula.
Another major emphasis is building connections and collaboration. Projects may be designed to strengthen ties among faculty across more than one institution of higher education, or to connect college faculty with secondary school teachers and students. The program also welcomes partnerships between faculty at colleges and universities and professionals in cultural organizations such as museums, libraries, and historical or cultural societies. NEH notes that applications are welcome from all humanities disciplines and that disciplines will be treated equally during review, which signals that the program is open to a wide range of humanities topics and methods as long as the proposal is well-organized around a central theme.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a grant (not a contract) under CFDA 45.162, Promotion of the Humanities, categorized under teaching, learning resources, and curriculum development. The award ceiling listed is $100,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which can make participation more feasible for institutions with limited discretionary funds. Eligibility is limited to U.S. nonprofit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt Tribal Colleges and Universities as defined by Executive Order 13270, specifically those appearing on the U.S. Department of Education list of recognized TCUs. The original posting for the opportunity shows it was posted April 15, 2011, with a closing date of June 30, 2011 (and archived July 30, 2011), and the full guidance was provided through NEH at http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/HITCU.html. For access issues or questions, the notice directs applicants to NEH Division of Education Programs staff via the provided phone number and email (hi@neh.gov).
