Opportunity Information: Apply for 20180411 HB
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) "Awards for Faculty" program is a discretionary grant opportunity designed to support humanities research by individual faculty and staff at federally designated Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs). The central purpose is to help scholars at these institutions carry out research that has clear value for humanities scholars, students, or broader public audiences. Rather than forcing applicants into a single format or end product, the program is intentionally flexible, letting applicants shape the work plan around what makes the most sense for their topic, intended audience, and institutional context.
A defining feature of this opportunity is how much control the applicant has over the structure of the project. Applicants can propose the audience they want to reach, the type of humanities research they will conduct, the award period that fits their timeline, and the administrative arrangements that work best for their circumstances. This flexibility is meant to accommodate the reality that humanities scholarship can take many forms, from solitary archival work to collaborative or community-connected research, and from conventional publishing to digital or pedagogical outputs.
The scope of supported activities is broad as long as the work is grounded in humanities research. Projects may involve investigating primary and secondary sources and turning that research into articles, monographs, books, or other scholarly publications. The program also supports the creation of digital materials and scholarly resources such as translations, critical editions, archaeological site reports, and similar products that contribute to humanities knowledge or make materials more accessible to scholars and learners. In addition, the program explicitly includes basic research aimed at improving an existing undergraduate course, as well as basic research connected to the goals and interests of the applicant's institution or community, which opens the door to work that is academically rigorous while also being locally meaningful.
Eligibility is limited to individuals, not institutions as the direct applicants. To apply, a person must currently teach at, work on the staff of, or be retired from a college or university that the U.S. Department of Education has formally designated as an HSI, HBCU, or TCU. That eligibility requirement is central to the program's design, focusing resources on scholars affiliated with these institutions and supporting humanities research capacity within those academic communities.
