Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Individuals
Additional Information on Eligibility: This program accepts applications from faculty members and retired faculty members affiliated with Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribal Colleges and Universities, or Institutions with High Hispanic Enrollments.
Grant Description: This program supports individual faculty members at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs), and Institutions with High Hispanic Enrollment (IHHEs) pursuing research of value to humanities scholars, students, or general audiences. Awards are designed to be flexible, allowing applicants to define the audience, type of research, award periods, and administrative arrangements that best fit their projects. Awards can be used for a wide range of projects that are based on humanities research. Eligible projects include pursuing research in primary and secondary materials; producing articles, monographs, books, digital materials, archaeological site reports, translations, editions, or other scholarly resources; and conducting research leading to the improvement of an existing undergraduate course or the achievement of institutional or community research goals. Common to all applications regardless of their outcome must be humanities research supporting the goals of the project. Applicants are encouraged to view the List of Sample Projects and Frequently Asked Questions. NEH Awards for Faculty 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 research leading to the improvement of graduate courses. This 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. As a taxpayer-supported federal agency, NEH endeavors to make the products of its awards available to the broadest possible audience. Our goal is for scholars, educators, students, and the American public to have ready and easy access to the wide range of NEH grant products. For the Faculty Awards program, such products may include print or digital publications, digital resources, Web sites, and the like. For projects that lead to the development of Web sites, all other considerations being equal, NEH gives preference to those that provide free access to the public.
