Opportunity Summary:
The Summer Stipends grant opportunity, offered by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), provides short-term funding to individual scholars who want dedicated time to pursue advanced humanities research. The program is designed to help recipients spend a continuous, full-time two-month period working intensively on a humanities project. NEH frames the goal broadly: the research should be valuable to humanities scholars, general audiences, or both, and the program is open to projects at any stage, from early exploration and drafting to later-stage writing, revision, or preparation for publication.
The types of work supported are wide-ranging but clearly focused on serious humanities scholarship and public-facing contributions. Typical outcomes include scholarly articles, monographs and books, translations, critical editions, archaeological site reports, digital humanities materials, and other research resources that contribute to humanities knowledge and understanding. Because the stipend is meant to buy uninterrupted time, it is best suited to projects that benefit from sustained attention over a defined two-month window, such as drafting a chapter, completing a translation, building a digital component, conducting focused archival analysis, or preparing a manuscript for submission.
Awards are made as grants with an award ceiling of $6,000 and no cost-sharing or matching requirement. This means applicants are not required to provide institutional or personal matching funds as a condition of eligibility. The funding activity category is Humanities (CFDA 45.160, Promotion of the Humanities: Fellowships and Stipends). The opportunity is discretionary and is specifically structured as a fellowship/stipend-style support mechanism rather than an organizational project grant.
Eligibility is limited to individuals; organizations are explicitly not eligible to apply. However, there is an important nomination rule for some applicants. Faculty members who teach full time at colleges or universities must be nominated by their institutions in order to apply. In contrast, several categories of applicants may apply without an institutional nomination, including independent scholars; college or university staff who are not faculty members (and who will not be teaching during the academic year preceding the award tenure); emeritus scholars; adjunct faculty; part-time faculty; and applicants whose academic appointments end by the summer of the award tenure. In practical terms, the program is built to include both traditionally affiliated academics and scholars working outside or on the margins of full-time faculty positions, while still requiring institutions to endorse applications from full-time teaching faculty.
