Overview
As part of its Bridging Cultures initiative, NEH welcomes proposals to plan and implement a program consisting of a forum and a workshop on one of two humanities themes: “Civility and Democracy” or “The Muslim World and the Humanities.”
Each successful applicant for a Bridging Cultures Forum and Workshop program will be awarded a grant ranging from $100,000 to $250,000 in outright or matching funds, depending on the applicant’s preference and the availability of NEH funds.
(Learn more about different types of grant funding.)
The estimated award date is August 2010. All applicants will be notified by letter of the results of the competition.
All forum and workshop programs should take place between October 1, 2010, and March 30, 2011. The grant period may last as long as eighteen months.
Following completion of the forums and workshops, NEH plans to offer implementation grants, through a subsequent competition, to produce regional or nationwide public programs on Bridging Cultures themes. NEH anticipates funding one or more of these implementation grants for sums commensurate with the needs of a regional or national project. Awardees in the current competition, as well as other 501(c)(3) organizations or state and local governmental agencies will be eligible to enter the subsequent competition for implementation support.
Eligible Applicants
Any U.S. nonprofit organization with IRS 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status is eligible, as are state and local governmental agencies. Eligible institutions include but are not limited to public, academic, and research libraries; museums; disciplinary and professional associations; cultural institutions; state humanities councils; and institutions of higher learning. Individuals are not eligible to apply. When two or more institutions or organizations collaborate on a project, one of them must serve as the lead applicant and administer the grant on behalf of the others.
NEH generally does not award grants to other federal entities or to applicants whose projects are so closely intertwined with a federal entity that the project takes on characteristics of the federal entity’s own authorized activities. This does not preclude applicants from using grant funds from, or sites and materials controlled by, other federal entities in their projects.
Late, incomplete, and ineligible applications will not be reviewed.
Application and Submission Information
Application advice and proposal drafts
Applicants are encouraged to discuss their proposals with program officers, who can answer questions about the review process. To reach a program officer, contact Bridging Cultures at 202-606-8337 202-606-8337 or bridgingcultures@neh.gov.
Staff comments are not part of the formal review process and have no bearing on the final outcome of the proposal, but previous applicants have found them helpful in strengthening their applications. Drafts should not be submitted via Grants.gov, but should instead be sent as attachments to bridgingcultures@neh.gov.
Application Deadlines
Applications must be received by Grants.gov on or before June 1, 2010, for projects beginning in August 2010. Grants.gov will date- and time-stamp your application after it is fully uploaded. Applications submitted after that date will not be accepted. Supplementary materials must also arrive at NEH on or before June 1, 2010, to be considered as part of the application.
