IAH Announces 2010 NEH Summer Stipend Deadlines

NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES
SUMMER STIPENDS 2010

Deadline:  September 2, 2009

NEH Summer Stipends support individuals working full-time on a humanities project at any stage of development by providing $6,000 for two consecutive months of full-time research and writing. Faculty members teaching full-time at colleges and universities must be nominated by their institutions to apply for a summer stipend. At UNC-Chapel Hill, the Institute for the Arts and Humanities’ Faculty Advisory Board will again serve as the nominations committee.

To be eligible for a summer stipend, applicants must turn in applications to the Institute for the Arts and Humanities, located in Hyde Hall, by Wednesday, September 2, 2009.

Full information about the stipend as well as the application materials may be found at the following Web site: http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/stipends.html.

Internal Application Process

If you intend to apply, please contact Ms. Martha Marks (843-2651) before bringing your application to Hyde Hall. Submit an original and four copies (five total) of the application. Read all application instructions, available on the NEH Web site, carefully: only complete applications will be considered.

The Institute’s nomination committee will review all applications for UNC-Chapel Hill faculty and select two faculty nominees who will then apply directly to the NEH. The Institute will notify the two nominees in time for them to submit their applications online at www.grants.gov directly to the NEH prior to the October 1 deadline. The NEH will notify those writing letters of recommendation so that they can submit their letters to the NEH online.

If you have further questions about the internal application process, contact Ms. Martha Marks (843-2651) at the Institute for the Arts and Humanities. For questions about the Summer Stipend program, contact the NEH at stipends@neh.gov or visit the NEH Web site.
