Opportunity Summary:
The NEA Literature Fellowships Translation Projects (FY 2012) opportunity is a National Endowment for the Arts grant program designed to support published literary translators who are working on creative translations of specific works of prose, poetry, or drama from other languages into English. The central goal is to help bring important international literature to English-language readers, with an emphasis on literary quality and cultural value. The NEA explicitly encourages proposals that focus on writers and works that are not already well represented in English, and it gives priority to projects involving works that have not yet been translated into English at all. Because these fellowships are nationally competitive, applicants are expected to submit projects and work samples that can stand out at a rigorous, high-profile level.
Awards are made as grants (not loans) with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding range for individual awards is set with a floor of $12,500 and a ceiling of $25,000. If awarded, the NEA allows flexibility in when the project can begin: NEA support may start any time between November 1, 2011, and November 1, 2012, and the supported project period can last up to two years. In practical terms, that means the fellowship is intended to underwrite a meaningful portion of the time and labor involved in producing a publishable, high-quality translation within a reasonable timeframe.
Eligibility is limited to individual translators (not organizations) who meet the program's publication requirements and who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents. The program also restricts how many times a person can apply and how frequently past NEA fellowship recipients can return. An individual may submit only one application for FY 2012 funding, and applicants cannot apply for both a Translation Project under this January deadline and a Creative Writing Fellowship under the March deadline in the same cycle. In addition, applicants are not eligible if they have received three or more prior NEA Creative Writing or Translation Fellowships, or if they have received any NEA Creative Writing or Translation Fellowship within the previous five years (specified here as any fellowship received on or after October 1, 2007). Past grantees must also be in good standing, meaning they must have submitted acceptable final report materials for any earlier NEA awards by the required due dates.
The NEA draws a clear boundary around what it will not fund under this opportunity. It does not support scholarly writing (with a note that scholars may want to look to the National Endowment for the Humanities instead), and it does not support work that is being done toward an academic degree. It also reiterates the fellowship limits for repeat recipients, underscoring that the program is designed to distribute support broadly and to prioritize translators who have not recently been funded by the NEA in these categories.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, the federal online application portal, with a hard deadline of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on January 6, 2011. Late applications were not accepted. The listing identifies this as a discretionary grant opportunity in the Arts category (CFDA 45.024, Promotion of the Arts), with the funding opportunity number 2011NEA03LFTP. The opportunity was posted on August 24, 2010, and later archived on February 5, 2011, reflecting its status as a past cycle announcement rather than an open competition.
