NEH Summer Stipend Proposals Due

National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Stipends support individuals working full-time on a humanities project at any stage of development by providing funding 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 Director will appoint faculty to serve on the nominating committee. For complete eligibility requirements, please review the Notice of Funding Opportunity for this program.

Tenured and tenure-track faculty members at most colleges and universities, including UNC-Chapel Hill, must be nominated by their institutions to apply for a summer stipend. Your application will be reviewed by the Nominating Committee, chaired by Senior Associate Dean Elizabeth Engelhardt, and comprised of former recipients of the NEH Summer Stipend and IAH Director Patricia Parker.

Funds and all restrictions are determined by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
