Opportunity Summary:
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Summer Stipends program is a discretionary grant opportunity designed to give individual scholars dedicated time to pursue advanced humanities research. The core purpose of the program is to support projects that will matter to humanities specialists, the broader public, or both. In practice, the program is meant to buy scholars two uninterrupted months of full-time work so they can make substantial progress on a serious research agenda without competing obligations.
Summer Stipends are geared toward producing concrete scholarly or public-facing outcomes. Typical results include peer-reviewed articles, monographs and books, digital humanities resources, archaeological site reports, translations, scholarly editions, and other research materials that expand access to humanities knowledge. The program is flexible about where a project sits in its lifecycle: proposals can be at an early exploratory stage, in the middle of a longer research and writing process, or nearing completion, as long as the applicant can make a strong case that two continuous months of concentrated work will materially advance the project.
A key feature of this opportunity is that awards are made only to individuals, not to institutions or other organizations. The eligibility rules emphasize that the applicant must be an individual scholar. There is also a specific condition for full-time faculty at colleges and universities: if an applicant teaches full time at a higher education institution, they must be nominated by their institution in order to be eligible. Aside from that nomination requirement for full-time faculty, the program is structured around supporting individual research plans rather than organizational initiatives.
The funding amount is fixed rather than variable. The award ceiling is $6,000 and the award floor is also $6,000, meaning recipients receive a $6,000 stipend to support their two-month full-time research period. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to provide additional funds or secure matching contributions to receive the award.
This opportunity is listed under CFDA number 45.160 (Promotion of the Humanities: Fellowships and Stipends) and falls within the humanities funding activity category. The funding opportunity number is 20151001 FT, and the opportunity title is Summer Stipends. For the cycle referenced in the source information, the announcement was posted May 7, 2015, with an application deadline of October 1, 2015.
