Opportunity Summary:
The Humanities Initiatives at Historically Black Colleges and Universities grant opportunity is a discretionary federal grant program offered by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to strengthen and enrich humanities education and scholarship at eligible HBCUs. The central aim is to help institutions deepen humanities teaching and learning by improving the humanities content within existing academic programs, creating new humanities-focused programs, or building the groundwork for larger, longer-term humanities efforts in the future. A key program requirement is that each proposed project must be organized around a clearly defined core topic or a related set of themes, which serves as the intellectual anchor for the activities and outcomes the applicant plans to develop.
This opportunity falls under the humanities funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 45.162 (Promotion of the Humanities: Teaching and Learning Resources and Curriculum Development). The funding instrument is a grant, and the program does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can make it more accessible for institutions that have limited capacity to provide institutional match. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) listed for this competition is $75,000, and the minimum award amount (award floor) is $0, indicating that smaller-budget proposals may be considered depending on project scope and design.
Eligibility is limited to U.S. nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) Historically Black Colleges and Universities as defined by Executive Order 13532. Applicants must be institutions recognized on the U.S. Department of Education list of accredited HBCUs. In other words, the applicant must be an eligible HBCU institution itself (not an individual faculty member applying independently), and the institution must meet the nonprofit and tax-exempt status requirement.
Key dates for the specific posting provided include a posted date of April 10, 2012, with an application closing date of June 27, 2012 (original and current closing dates match), and an archive date of July 27, 2012.
