Opportunity Summary:
The Summer Stipends grant opportunity is a discretionary grant program offered by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to support individual scholars conducting advanced humanities research. The core purpose is to provide dedicated time for continuous, full-time work on a humanities project for two consecutive months, allowing recipients to make substantial progress without the usual interruptions of other professional responsibilities. The program is designed to fund research that will be meaningful either to humanities scholars, to broader public audiences, or to both, reflecting NEH's interest in scholarship that contributes to knowledge while also having the potential to reach beyond a narrow academic niche.
Projects supported by Summer Stipends can be at any stage of development, which makes the program flexible for applicants who may be initiating a new line of inquiry, deepening an ongoing research agenda, or moving a mature project toward completion. Typical outcomes include scholarly articles, monographs and books, and other forms of humanities publication. The opportunity also explicitly recognizes a wide range of humanities research products, including digital materials and digital publications, archaeological site reports, translations, scholarly editions, and other resources that can serve as foundational tools for future research and teaching. In practice, this means applicants are not limited to conventional print scholarship; projects that build or interpret cultural, historical, linguistic, philosophical, or literary knowledge through alternative scholarly outputs are also within scope.
The award has a maximum amount (award ceiling) of $6,000, which is intended to function as a stipend supporting the recipient's ability to devote two months of full-time effort to the project. The funding activity category is Humanities (listed under Cultural Affairs in CFDA), and the CFDA number associated with the program is 45.160. The funding opportunity is identified by the title "Summer Stipends" and the opportunity number 20160929 FT. The sponsoring agency is NEH.
For this particular posting cycle, the opportunity was created and posted on May 5, 2016, with an application deadline (original and current closing date) of September 29, 2016. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the expectation that applicants consult the program's additional eligibility guidance for specifics, but the program description makes clear that the intent is to support individuals rather than institutions. Overall, the Summer Stipends program is structured as a small, time-limited research award aimed at enabling concentrated scholarly progress and producing substantive humanities outputs that contribute to academic understanding and/or public knowledge.
