Opportunity Summary:
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Summer Stipends program is a discretionary grant opportunity designed to help individual scholars make focused progress on advanced humanities research. The core purpose is to fund work that has clear value for humanities scholars, for general audiences, or for both. Projects supported through this program often lead to substantial scholarly or public-facing outputs such as peer-reviewed articles, monographs and books, digital humanities materials, archaeological site reports, translations, scholarly editions, or other resources that expand knowledge in the humanities and make it more accessible.
A defining feature of Summer Stipends is the expectation of continuous, full-time work on a humanities project for two consecutive months. In practical terms, the stipend is meant to buy concentrated research and writing time, allowing recipients to devote themselves fully to a project without the usual competing obligations. The program is flexible regarding where a project falls in its lifecycle: proposals are welcome at any stage of development, whether the applicant is beginning exploratory research, working through analysis and drafting, or moving toward revision and preparation for publication or release.
Eligibility is limited to individuals. This program does not accept applications from organizations, institutions, or groups, and awards are made directly to individual scholars rather than to universities or nonprofit entities. NEH specifically encourages applications from independent scholars as well as faculty at institutions that have historically been underrepresented in federal funding pipelines, including Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs). That emphasis signals an interest in broadening participation across the humanities research community while maintaining the program focus on high-quality, rigorous scholarship.
For this particular announcement (Funding Opportunity Number 20140930 FT), the award amount is fixed rather than variable: both the award floor and the award ceiling are listed as 6,000 dollars. The opportunity falls under CFDA 45.160 (Promotion of the Humanities: Fellowships and Stipends) and does not require cost sharing or matching funds, meaning applicants are not expected to provide additional non-federal dollars to receive the award. The grant was posted and created on May 12, 2014, with an application closing date of September 30, 2014. The administering agency is the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Applicants seeking further guidance are directed to the program page at http://www.neh.gov/grants/research/summer-stipends.
