The National Endowment for the Humanities has announced the Summer Stipends program, which allows two nominees per institution. The program is designed to support individuals pursuing advanced research that is of value to humanities scholars, general audiences, or both. Examples of work supported include articles, monographs, books, digital materials, archaeological site reports, translations, editions or other scholarly resources.
Eligibility: Researchers, teachers and writers (with the exception of literary authors) who have completed their most recent advanced degrees, whether or not they are affiliated with an organization. Applicants need not have advanced degrees, but individuals currently enrolled in degree programs are ineligible. Those who have held or been awarded a major fellowship or research grant (more than $15,000) from organizations other than NC State within the last three years are not eligible.
Award: $6,000 for two consecutive months of full-time research and writing
Important dates:

Self-nominations will be accepted if they are followed by a nomination message from a mid- or advanced-career faculty member.
