Overview
Fellowships support individuals pursuing advanced research that is of value to humanities scholars, general audiences, or both. Recipients usually produce articles, monographs, books, digital materials, archaeological site reports, translations, editions, or other scholarly resources. Fellowships support continuous full-time work for a period of six to twelve months. Fellowships may not be used for
- curricular or pedagogical tools, methods, theories, or surveys;
- preparation or revision of textbooks;
- projects that seek to promote a particular political, philosophical, religious, or ideological point of view;
- projects that advocate a particular program of social action;
- works in the creative and performing arts, i.e., painting, writing fiction or poetry, dance performance, etc.; or
- doctoral dissertations or theses.
NEH encourages submission of Fellowships applications from faculty at Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Institutions with High Hispanic Enrollment, and Tribal Colleges and Universities.
The Fellowships program welcomes projects that respond to NEH’s new Bridging Cultures initiative. Such projects could focus on cultures internationally or within the United States. International projects might seek to enlarge Americans’ understanding of other places and times, as well as other perspectives and intellectual traditions. American projects might explore the great variety of cultural influences on, and myriad subcultures within, American society. These projects might also investigate how Americans have approached and attempted to surmount seemingly unbridgeable cultural divides, or examine the ideals of civility and civic discourse that have informed this quest.
Value of this fellowship
Fellowships cover periods lasting from six to twelve months at a stipend of $4,200 per month in outright funds. The maximum stipend is $50,400 in outright funds for a twelve-month period. Applicants should request award periods that suit their schedules and the needs of their projects. Requesting an award period shorter than twelve months will not improve an applicant’s chances of receiving a fellowship.
Recipients may begin their awards as early as January 1, 2011, and as late as July 1, 2012.
Eligibility
The Fellowships program accepts applications from researchers, teachers, and writers, whether they have an institutional affiliation or not.
While applicants need not have advanced degrees, individuals currently enrolled in a degree-granting program are ineligible to apply. Graduate students seeking support for a degree in the humanities should consider the Department of Education’s Jacob K. Javits Fellowship Program. Applicants for NEH Fellowships who have satisfied all the requirements for a degree and are awaiting its conferral are eligible, but such applicants need a letter from the dean of the conferring school or their department chair attesting to the applicant’s status as of May 4, 2010. This signed letter may be faxed to the Fellowships program at 202-606-8204 202-606-8204 ; alternatively, a PDF version of the signed letter may be included as an attachment to an e-mail message sent to fellowships@neh.gov.
Citizenship
All U.S. citizens, whether they reside inside or outside the United States, are eligible to apply. Foreign nationals who have been living in the United States or its jurisdictions for at least the three years prior to the application deadline are also eligible.
Projects previously supported by NEH Fellowships
An applicant may apply for funding for a project that has previously received an NEH Fellowship. NEH will ask evaluators to review the accomplishments from the prior fellowship and determine if the project warrants additional support.
Concurrent grants from other organizations
Recipients of NEH Fellowships may simultaneously hold fellowships or grants from institutions other than NEH—including sabbaticals and grants from their own institutions—in support of the same project during their award period.
Multiple applications
Applicants may compete concurrently in the following programs for individuals in a given year:
Library of Congress (LOC) - John W. Kluge Center Fellowships;
Japan-United States Friendship Commission (JUSFC) - Fellowship Program for Advanced Social Sciences Research on Japan;
NEH and National Science Foundation - Fellowship Program for Documenting Endangered Languages (DEL);
Summer Stipends;
Teaching Development Fellowships; and
Awards for Faculty at Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Institutions with High Hispanic Enrollment, and Tribal Colleges and Universities.
Successful Fellowships applicants who plan research at the LOC may be offered a jointly funded NEH-LOC Kluge Center Fellowship.
Applicants may receive only one NEH individual award in a federal fiscal year (October 1, 2010-September 30, 2011).
Late, incomplete, and ineligible applications will not be reviewed.
