Opportunity Summary:
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Summer Stipends program is a discretionary grant opportunity designed to support individual scholars conducting advanced humanities research intended to matter both to specialists and to broader public audiences. The core purpose is to buy two months of uninterrupted, full-time time to move a humanities project forward, whether that project is just beginning, midstream, or nearing completion. Typical outcomes include scholarly and public-facing products such as peer-reviewed articles, monographs and books, translations, documentary editions, archaeological site reports, digital humanities resources, and other research tools that help interpret and share humanistic knowledge.
This competition is strictly for individuals rather than institutions. Organizations are not eligible to apply, and the award is structured as a stipend for a defined, concentrated work period rather than as an institutional program or multi-person project budget. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to bring additional funds to qualify.
Funding for each award is up to $6,000 (award ceiling $6,000; award floor $0) for the two-month period of full-time work. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is Humanities (CFDA 45.160, Promotion of the Humanities: Fellowships and Stipends). The opportunity was posted April 30, 2008, with an application deadline of October 1, 2008, and an archive date of October 31, 2008 (Funding Opportunity Number 20081001 FT).
The program also draws clear boundaries around what it will not support. Summer Stipends cannot be used for dissertation or thesis research by students currently enrolled in a degree program. The program also excludes work that is primarily policy-focused or evaluative in a technical sense, such as specific policy studies, educational or technical impact assessments, or similar evaluation-style projects. It does not fund the preparation or publication of textbooks, studies centered on teaching methods or theories, surveys of courses and academic programs, or curriculum development. Likewise, projects that are primarily inventories of collections are not supported. The program is not intended to underwrite creative or performing arts projects such as producing fiction or poetry, painting, or staging dance performances. Finally, NEH bars projects framed to promote a particular political, philosophical, religious, or ideological viewpoint, or those that advocate a specific program of social action, reinforcing that the stipend is for research and interpretation in the humanities rather than advocacy.
