Opportunity Summary:
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) offered the Humanities Initiatives at Hispanic Serving Institutions grant to strengthen and enrich humanities education and scholarship at eligible Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs). The central aim of the program is to help colleges and universities deepen the role of the humanities on campus by supporting projects that improve humanities teaching and learning, expand humanities programming, and build institutional capacity for future, larger-scale humanities work. NEH emphasizes that each proposed project must be organized around a clear core topic or a coherent set of themes, so the initiative is not meant to be a collection of unrelated activities, but rather a focused effort that ties programming, curriculum, and scholarship together under a shared intellectual framework.
Funding is provided as a discretionary grant under CFDA 45.162 (Promotion of the Humanities), with an activity focus on teaching and learning resources and curriculum development. Awards can be used in several ways depending on an institution's needs and readiness, including enhancing the humanities content within existing academic programs, developing new humanities courses or programs, and laying the groundwork for more extensive institutional humanities endeavors in the future. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can make it more accessible for institutions that may have limited discretionary budgets for program development.
The award ceiling for this opportunity is $75,000, with no stated minimum award amount. The competition was posted on April 10, 2012 (created April 5, 2012), with an application deadline of June 27, 2012. The grant listing indicates an archive date of July 27, 2012, meaning this specific announcement is historical, though similar NEH programs may reappear in later years with updated deadlines and requirements.
Eligibility is limited to U.S. nonprofit, 501(c)(3) tax-exempt colleges and universities that qualify as Hispanic Serving Institutions. NEH directs applicants to confirm eligibility in two steps: first, the institution should appear on the U.S. Department of Education compiled eligibility list (which includes Title III and Title V institutions), and second, the institution must meet the HSI enrollment threshold of at least 25 percent Hispanic undergraduate full-time equivalent enrollment, as verified using the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) College Navigator tool under the Enrollment section and Student Race/Ethnicity data. In other words, being on the list is necessary but not sufficient; the institution must also meet the 25 percent undergraduate enrollment criterion.

Applicants who needed help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact the NEH Division of Education Programs (Room 302, 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20506) by phone at 202-606-8463 or by email at hi@neh.gov.
