Fellowships

This notice solicits applications for the Fellowships program.

NEH Fellowships are granted to individual scholars pursuing projects that embody exceptional humanistic research, rigorous analysis, and clear writing. Applications must clearly articulate a project’s value to humanities scholars, general audiences, or both.

Fellowships provide recipients time to conduct research or to produce books, monographs, peer reviewed articles, e-books, digital materials, translations with annotations or a critical apparatus, or critical editions resulting from previous research. Projects may be at any stage of development.

NEH invites research applications from scholars in all disciplines, and encourages submissions from independent scholars and junior scholars.

 

Next deadline (anticipated): April 10, 2024
