Opportunity Summary:
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Summer Stipends program is a discretionary grant opportunity designed to fund individual scholars who want to devote concentrated time to advanced humanities research. The core purpose is to support projects that matter to humanities specialists, to the general public, or to both, and to help scholars make meaningful progress during a focused summer work period. The award supports full-time work on a single humanities project for two months, giving researchers dedicated time to write, analyze sources, translate, compile materials, or otherwise move a project forward in a substantial way.
Summer Stipends are intended for individual applicants only; organizations are not eligible to apply. The program is flexible about where a project sits in its lifecycle, explicitly welcoming work at any stage of development, whether early exploratory research, mid-stage drafting and synthesis, or later-stage revision and preparation for publication or dissemination. Typical outcomes from funded projects include scholarly articles, monographs and books, digital humanities materials, archaeological site reports, translations, critical editions, and other research resources that contribute to humanities knowledge and access. The overall emphasis is on serious, research-driven humanities work that results in a tangible scholarly product or resource.
A notable priority area within the program is alignment with NEH's Bridging Cultures initiative. Projects responding to this theme can be international or U.S.-focused. Internationally oriented projects may aim to deepen Americans' understanding of other regions, historical periods, perspectives, and intellectual traditions. U.S.-focused projects may examine the many cultural influences that have shaped American society, explore the diversity of subcultures within the United States, or investigate how Americans have tried to navigate or overcome difficult cultural divides. The initiative also explicitly invites work that considers the ideals of civility and civic discourse and how those ideals have been used, tested, or reimagined in efforts to bridge differences.
In terms of funding details, the opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 20100930-FT) anticipated making about 100 awards. Each award has a maximum amount (award ceiling) of $6,000, with no stated minimum (award floor listed as $0). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute additional funds to receive the stipend. The program is listed under CFDA number 45.160, Promotion of the Humanities: Fellowships and Stipends, and it falls within the humanities funding activity category (noted as cultural affairs in CFDA terms).
The announcement was posted on May 18, 2010, with an application deadline of September 30, 2010, and an archive date of October 30, 2010. Applicants who needed help accessing the full announcement were directed to NEH's Division of Research, Room 318, at 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20506, phone 202-606-8200, or by email at stipends@neh.gov. The program guidance and additional details were referenced at http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/stipends.html. NEH also specifically encouraged applications from faculty at Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Institutions with High Hispanic Enrollment, and Tribal Colleges and Universities, signaling an interest in broadening participation and supporting scholarship emerging from a wider range of academic communities.
