Two Opportunities from the National Endowment for the Humanities

Following are two funding opportunities from the NEH: Digital Humanities Advancement Grants, and the Collaborative Research Program. Please contact the Research Office if you plan to pursue these opportunities.

National Endowment for the Arts Translation Projects

 Translation Projects


Through fellowships to published translators, the National Endowment for the Arts (Arts Endowment) supports projects for the translation of specific works of prosepoetry, or drama from other languages into English. The work to be translated should be of interest for its literary excellence and value. We encourage translations of writers and of work that are not well represented in English, as well as work that has not previously been translated into English.

Application deadline:  1/13/2021

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month - Protect the Pack: You are Security!

Please see the following announcement from the Office of Information Technology. Data security is very important to researchers, so being aware of efforts to improve data security is an important responsibility for us all. 


Your data’s privacy depends on your ability to secure it safely.


Your ability to secure your data depends on what you know.

During Cybersecurity Awareness Month (CSAM) in October, the NC State Office of Information Technology, along with the NC State Department of Computer Science, ePartners Program, LabCorp, and MetLife, is co-sponsoring “Protect the Pack: You are Security” to provide you with valuable yet simple advice to protect your personal and work-related data and devices. 

This year’s event will highlight a four-member panel of Google Security experts on Wednesday, Oct. 21 who will answer questions about the type of content that should be stored in Google Drive and the level of security the university’s G Suite environment provides. This panel discussion will be held at 2 p.m. online and is open to the novice and the experienced NC State G Suite user. Event participants will have an opportunity to win great prizes, including a Fire TV 4K Essentials Bundle, a RT ROCKTEK G1 Android TV 9.0, a Jabra Speak 410 portable conference speaker, and Yubikeys. To register, visit REPORTER.

For more information, see NC State’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month website.

Two Funding Opportunities from the National Endowment for the Humanities

After the jump, please see two funding opportunities from the NEH, both with early December deadlines.


Digital Humanities Advancement Grants

Digital Humanities Advancement Grants (DHAG) support innovative, experimental, and/or computationally challenging projects at different stages throughout their lifecycles, from early start-up phases through implementation and sustainability. Experimentation, reuse, and extensibility are hallmarks of this program, leading to innovative work that can scale to enhance scholarly research, teaching, and public programming in the humanities.  Proposals are welcome for digital initiatives in any area of the humanities.

Application due date:  12/1/2020



Collaborative Research Program

The Collaborative Research program aims to advance humanistic knowledge through sustained collaboration between two or more scholars. Collaborators may be drawn from a single institution or several institutions across the United States; up to half of the collaborators may be based outside of the U.S. The program encourages projects that propose diverse approaches to topics, incorporate multiple points of view, and explore new avenues of inquiry in the humanities.

Application due date:  12/2/2020
