Overview
Teaching Development Fellowships (TDF) support college and university teachers pursuing research aimed specifically at improving their undergraduate teaching. The program has three broad goals: 1) to improve the quality of humanities education in the United States; 2) to strengthen the link between research and teaching in the humanities; and 3) to foster excellence in undergraduate instruction.
Projects must improve an existing undergraduate course that has been taught in at least THREE different terms prior to the application deadline and will continue to be taught by the applicant. Proposals for new courses or for mere course preparation will NOT be considered. The research project must be closely related to the applicant’s core interests as an interpreter of the humanities.
The research undertaken as a part of the project may involve engaging with fundamental texts or sources, exploring related subjects or academic disciplines, or cultivating neglected areas of learning. Projects may in part entail the development of a language skill or the acquisition of digital skills in order to carry out the proposed research.
- Research in any area of the humanities is welcome. Fellowships may not be used for
- development of new courses or basic course preparation;
- improvement of multiple courses;
- payment of guest speakers;
- team-taught courses;
- development of curricular or pedagogical methods or theories;
- graduate-level teaching preparation;
- textbook research or revision;
- projects that seek to promote a particular political, religious, or ideological point of view;
- projects that advocate a particular program of social action;
works in the creative and performing arts (e.g., painting, writing fiction or poetry, dance performance, etc.); or
doctoral dissertations, theses, or any other research pertaining to a degree program.
NEH encourages submission of applications from faculty at Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Institutions with High Hispanic Enrollment, and Tribal Colleges and Universities.
Amount awarded
Teaching Development Fellowships cover periods lasting from three to five months and carry stipends of $4,200 per month. Thus the maximum stipend is $21,000 for a five-month award period.
Applicants should request award periods that suit their schedules and the needs of their projects. A request for a shorter award period will not improve one’s chances of receiving a fellowship.
Recipients may begin their award as early as June 1, 2011, and as late as March 1, 2012.
The award period must be continuous. Fellows may carry up to a half-time teaching load while on tenure of the fellowship. The proposal’s work plan should reflect the applicant’s teaching load during the term of the proposed fellowship.
Those with questions are encouraged to contact the Teaching Development Fellowships staff at TDFellowships@neh.gov.
Cost sharing
Teaching Development Fellowships do not require cost sharing.
Concurrent grants from other organizations
Recipients may simultaneously hold grants from sources other than NEH in support of the same project during their award period, including sabbaticals and grants from their own institutions.
Multiple applications
Applicants successful in more than one NEH-administered program in support of individual research (e.g., Fellowships, Summer Stipends) may hold only ONE award in any given federal fiscal year (for example, October 1, 2010–September 30, 2011).
Application advice
Prior to beginning, applicants should review the evaluation criteria listed below in Section V and consult the Frequently Asked Questions.
Because of the large number of applications, NEH staff is not able to read and comment on draft proposals. However, potential applicants may discuss with the staff specific concerns or questions that arise during the preparation of their proposals. Contact NEH’s Division of Research Programs at 202-606-8200 202-606-8200 or TDFellowships@neh.gov. Hearing-impaired applicants can contact NEH via TDD at 1-866-372-2930 1-866-372-2930 .
