In External Funding Opportunities, Limited Submission Competition

Provost Nomination Requests are Due August 25; Applications due September 20

The National Endowment for the Humanities has announced its annual Summer Stipends fellowship competition for 2023. The NEH deadline for eligible proposal submissions is Wednesday, September 20. The award amount is $6,000 beginning May 1, 2024. 

From the NEH web site: 
The National Endowment for the Humanities’ Summer Stipends program aims to stimulate new research in the humanities and its publication. The program works to accomplish this goal by:

  • Providing small awards to individuals pursuing advanced research that is of value to humanities scholars, general audiences, or both
  • Supporting projects at any stage of development, but especially early-stage research and late-stage writing in which small awards are most effective
  • Furthering the NEH’s commitment to diversity and inclusion in the humanities by encouraging applications from independent scholars and faculty at Hispanic Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and community colleges

Summer Stipends support continuous full-time work on a humanities project for a period of two consecutive months.  NEH funds may support recipients’ compensation, travel, and other costs related to the proposed scholarly research.


NOMINATION REQUIREMENTS

For those of you who may be considering applying, please note that Emerson may nominate two tenured and/or tenure-track faculty members to apply for the award. Because of this limitation, it is necessary for Emerson to review all potential submissions in an internal limited submission process. Applications submitted by tenured/tenure-track faculty without a nomination will automatically be rejected by the sponsor. 

THE LIMITED SUBMISSION PROCESS
On or before Friday, August 25, potential applicants must complete the Application Form for Provost’s Nomination via Google Forms.  Applicants must include a one-paragraph summary of their proposed project for review by the Provost.   

By September 1, after review by the Provost, nominations will be announced by the Office of Academic Affairs. The nominees will then have the opportunity to complete their proposals in time for submission to the NEH by its September 20 deadline.   


PROPOSAL SUBMISSION: Applications to NEH are submitted via Grants.gov directly by the individual. ORCS will assist the nominees with this process.

Through project-based funding, the program supports public engagement with, and access to, various forms of art across the nation, the creation of art, learning in the arts at all stages of life, and the integration of the arts into the fabric of community life. We encourage projects that address any of the following:

  • Elevate artists as integral and essential to a healthy and vibrant society
  • Celebrate the nation’s creativity and/or cultural heritage
  • Enrich our humanity by broadening our understanding of ourselves as individuals and as a society

  • Organizations that support the independence and lifelong inclusion of people with disabilities.

In recognition of the United States of America’s 250th anniversary in 2026, we also welcome arts projects that educate and engage communities in dialogue about the past, present, and future of our nation.
