Opportunity Information: Apply for 20230412 HB
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), through its Division of Research Programs, offered the "Awards for Faculty" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: 20230412 HB) to support individual faculty and staff members conducting humanities research. The program is designed specifically to strengthen humanities scholarship and research capacity at Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs). At its core, the opportunity aims to expand access to meaningful research support for scholars working in environments that have historically been under-resourced in federal humanities funding, while also elevating humanities work produced within these institutions.
This is a discretionary federal grant program in the humanities (CFDA/Assistance Listing 45.160) and is open to individuals as the eligible applicant type, rather than institutions. Funding supports scholarly research projects that contribute value to humanities scholars, students, and/or general audiences. In practical terms, that means the grant is meant to help researchers develop, complete, or advance a humanities-focused project with clear intellectual merit and a credible plan for producing outcomes that matter, whether those outcomes are primarily academic (such as peer-reviewed scholarship) or designed to reach wider publics (such as publications or other forms of dissemination aimed at non-specialist audiences).
The maximum award amount (award ceiling) for this opportunity was $60,000, and NEH anticipated making about 20 awards. The opportunity was originally posted with a creation date of January 11, 2023, and an original application deadline of April 12, 2023. Overall, the program functions as a targeted investment in individual humanists working at HSIs, HBCUs, and TCUs, helping them secure time and resources to pursue substantial research and produce scholarship or other humanities outputs that can enrich teaching, learning, and public understanding.Apply for 20230412 HB
