DEADLINE MAY 4: Humanities Access Grants: National Endowment for the Humanities

Humanities Access grants help support capacity building for humanities programs that benefit one or more of the following groups: youth, communities of color, and economically disadvantaged populations.

Humanities Access grants establish or augment term endowments (that is, endowments whose funds are entirely expended over the course of a set time period) to provide funding for existing programs at institutions such as public libraries, local and regional museums, historical societies, community colleges, HBCUs and tribal colleges, Hispanic-serving institutions, archival repositories, and other cultural organizations. Humanities Access grants are intended to seed longer-term endowment-building efforts.

For further details, see the announcement at http://www.neh.gov/grants/challenge/humanities-access-grants.

New Funding Opportunities

The following opportunities are not "limited submission" opportunities. This means that you can apply for these without seeking University clearance. While some of these may seem far afield, for most, if not all, of these opportunities there are likely to be important social and behavioral science and humanistic elements. Please let the Research Office know if you are interested in pursuing any of these opportunities
