National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Faculty Humanities Workshops
Sponsor:National Endowment for the Humanities
Deadline: September 15, 2006 (for April 2007 projects)
Objectives:
Grants for Faculty Humanities Workshops support local and regional professional development programs for K-12 teachers and faculty at post-secondary institutions by providing such faculty with the opportunity to engage in vigorous intellectual inquiry with visiting scholars on significant topics in the humanities.
Projects for college and university faculty members should reflect and respond to institutional priorities and initiatives. These workshops enable a core group of faculty to pursue collaborative humanistic inquiry at a level that could not be accomplished with existing institutional resources. As the core group pursues its common course of study, it will draw upon expertise from within the institution(s) as well as from appropriate visiting scholars. Projects typically involve a cohesive series of meetings on a well-defined topic over a period of up to 18 months.
Eligibility:
Any U.S. nonprofit organization with 501(c)3 tax exempt status is eligible, as are state and local governmental agencies and tribal governments. Grants are not awarded to individuals.
NEH generally does not award grants to other federal entities or to applicants whose projects are so closely intertwined with a federal entity that the project takes on characteristics of the federal entity's own authorized activities. This does not preclude applicants from using grant funds from, or sites and materials controlled by, other federal entities in their projects.
Applications that do not meet the programs cost sharing requirements will not be considered.
Ineligible applications will not be reviewed.
