Opportunity Information: Apply for 20190410 HB
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Awards for Faculty program is a discretionary grant opportunity designed to strengthen humanities scholarship and teaching at three types of federally designated institutions: Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs). The core idea is to expand and support humanities research opportunities for individual faculty and staff members at these institutions, with an emphasis on producing work that has clear value to humanities scholars, students, and/or the broader public. While the program is tied to specific institution types, the awards themselves are aimed at individuals rather than departments or campuses as a whole.
A defining feature of this program is flexibility. Applicants are not limited to a single research format or a narrow project structure; instead, NEH allows a range of project types and award periods, as long as the central activity is humanities research. That flexibility is meant to accommodate different scholarly methods and outcomes, whether a project is traditional, public-facing, digitally oriented, or directly connected to teaching and curriculum. Regardless of approach, the project must be grounded in humanities questions and humanities research practices, including engagement with relevant sources and scholarly contexts.
Eligible projects fall into several broad categories. One major category is research in primary and secondary materials that leads to recognized scholarly outputs. Examples include books and monographs, peer-reviewed journal articles, e-books, digital scholarly materials, annotated translations (or translations supported by a critical apparatus), critical editions, and other research resources that scholars and students can use. Another category includes humanities research tied to institutional or community goals, such as projects that draw from campus archives or community-based collections and use those materials to produce scholarship or resources that matter locally as well as academically. A third category supports humanities research that directly improves an existing undergraduate course. In these projects, the research component might generate new teaching materials or humanities resources such as oral histories, the identification and compilation of previously unavailable primary sources, or the creation of historical or literary collections that strengthen course content and student access to humanities evidence.
Eligibility is limited to individual faculty and staff affiliated with institutions designated by the U.S. Department of Education as HBCUs, HSIs, or TCUs. The program explicitly includes full-time and part-time faculty, adjunct faculty, retired faculty, and staff members, as long as they are affiliated with an eligible institution. In other words, the applicant must be an individual connected to an eligible campus, and the proposed work must be humanities research that results in meaningful scholarly, educational, or public outcomes.
