Opportunity Summary:
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) "Humanities Initiatives" grant opportunity is a discretionary grant program designed to strengthen and enrich humanities education and humanities scholarship at specific types of higher education institutions. The program is aimed exclusively at colleges and universities that the U.S. Department of Education classifies as Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs). The central purpose is capacity-building in the humanities: helping eligible institutions deepen what they already offer, create new humanities-focused programs, or develop the groundwork for larger, more ambitious efforts later on.
Projects funded through Humanities Initiatives can take multiple forms, but they must be organized around a clearly defined core topic or a coherent set of themes. In practical terms, this means proposals should not be a loose collection of unrelated activities. Instead, they should be anchored in a unifying humanities focus, such as a particular historical period, region, intellectual tradition, cultural question, or interdisciplinary theme that is firmly grounded in humanities methods and content. The grant can support efforts like enhancing the humanities content in existing curricula, building new courses or course sequences, developing teaching and learning resources, strengthening faculty expertise, or otherwise improving institutional humanities programming in ways that are sustainable and academically meaningful.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, this opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number 20130627 AB and is associated with CFDA 45.162 (Promotion of the Humanities), with activity categories tied to teaching and learning, resources, and curriculum development. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $100,000, and there is no required cost sharing or matching, which can make the program more accessible for institutions that have limited ability to contribute additional funds. The opportunity was originally posted on April 16, 2013, with an application deadline of June 27, 2013, and it was archived on July 27, 2013.
For applicants or institutions seeking more information or needing help accessing the full announcement, the program is administered through the NEH Division of Education Programs.
