The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)
Division of Research Programs is accepting applications for the Summer
Stipends program. The purpose of this program is to stimulate new
research and publication in the
humanities. Summer Stipends support continuous, full-time work on a
humanities project for a period of two consecutive months. NEH funds may
support recipients’ compensation, travel, and other costs related to
the proposed scholarly research.
Summer Stipends support
continuous full-time work on research-based projects in the humanities
for a period of two consecutive months.
Anticipated awards: $6,000; NEH expects to have approximately $600,000 available
annually to fund approximately 100 recipients per deadline. Summer
Stipends provide $6,000 for two consecutive months of research and
writing. You must work full-time
on your project and may hold other non-NEH sources of support (for
example, sabbaticals and supplementary funding) or grants for the same
project during your period of performance.
Eligibility: Within the parameters listed below, individual
researchers, teachers, and scholars eligible whether they have an
institutional affiliation or not. Applicants holding tenured or
tenure-track positions at institutions of higher education must be nominated by their institutions unless they are exempt from this requirement
U.S. citizens, whether they reside inside or outside the United States,
are eligible. Foreign nationals who have lived in the United States or
its jurisdictions for at least the three years prior to the application
deadline are also eligible. Foreign nationals who take up permanent
residence outside the United States any time between the application
deadline and the end of the period of performance will forfeit their
eligibility. Leaving the U.S. on a temporary basis is permitted.
While you do not need to have an advanced degree, if you are currently
enrolled in a degree granting program then you are ineligible. If you
have satisfied all the requirements for a degree and are awaiting its
conferral, you are eligible, but you must include a letter from the dean
of the conferring school or their department chair attesting to your
status as of the application deadline.
If you are tenured or on
a tenure track and teach full time at an institution of higher
education that is not exempt from nomination, your institution must
nominate you to apply for a Summer Stipend.

an independent scholar not affiliated with an institution of higher education
• a U.S. citizen teaching at a foreign institution
• non-tenure-track faculty at an institution of higher education
