Opportunity Information: Apply for 20240918 FT
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), through its Division of Research Programs, is offering the Summer Stipends program (Funding Opportunity Number 20240918 FT) to encourage and advance new humanities research that leads to publication or other significant scholarly outcomes. The core goal of this opportunity is to give individual scholars dedicated time to make meaningful progress on a well-defined humanities project by supporting a concentrated period of uninterrupted work.
Summer Stipends are designed to fund continuous, full-time effort on a project for two consecutive months. The structure of the award emphasizes sustained focus rather than part-time or intermittent activity, making it especially relevant for applicants who need protected time to research, write, translate, analyze sources, or complete other major components of humanities scholarship. NEH funding under this program can be used to cover the recipient's compensation during the stipend period, along with allowable project-related expenses such as travel and other costs directly tied to the proposed research.
This is a discretionary grant opportunity in the humanities (CFDA 45.160), and eligibility is limited to individuals rather than institutions. The application deadline is listed as September 18, 2024, and NEH anticipates making about 100 awards. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $8,000, which aligns with the program's intent to support a short, intensive work period rather than a longer multi-year project budget.
Applicants are expected to consult the official Notice of Funding Opportunity for the detailed eligibility rules and requirements, referenced in the announcement under the Eligibility Information section. In practical terms, a strong proposal for this program typically centers on a clearly articulated humanities research question or scholarly product, a feasible two-month work plan, and a convincing explanation of why this concentrated time and requested support are essential to complete a specific stage of the project.Apply for 20240918 FT
