Opportunity Summary:
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Summer Seminars and Institutes program is a discretionary grant opportunity that funds faculty development initiatives in the humanities. The core purpose is to support intensive, high-quality summer programs that strengthen humanities teaching and scholarship by bringing educators together for sustained study of a focused topic. These programs are designed specifically for two main audiences: school teachers and college or university teachers. NEH emphasizes that the program length should be long enough to allow for a rigorous and meaningful treatment of the subject matter, with seminars and institutes running anywhere from two weeks to as long as six weeks.
Funding is provided as a grant under CFDA 45.163 (Promotion of the Humanities - Professional Development). Awards in this competition range from a minimum of $60,000 to a maximum of $200,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute additional non-federal funds to be eligible. The opportunity was posted on December 11, 2009, with an application deadline of March 2, 2010, and the announcement was later archived on April 1, 2010.
Eligible applicants include a broad set of public-serving and educational organizations. This includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, independent school districts, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), and multiple levels of government entities (state governments, counties, cities or townships, special district governments), as well as federally recognized Native American tribal governments. In practice, these categories allow many universities, colleges, school districts, humanities councils, and nonprofit cultural or educational organizations to compete, provided they can administer and deliver a structured summer humanities program.
