Description
NEH Awards for Faculty are grants to individual faculty members at HBCUs pursuing projects that embody exceptional humanistic research, rigorous analysis, and clear writing. Applications must clearly articulate a project’s value to humanities scholars, general audiences, or both. These awards provide recipients with time to write, to travel, and to conduct research and other project-related activities. Projects are eligible at any stage. This program offers applicants flexibility in project outcomes and award periods. The 2026 Awards for Faculty competition will accept only projects for research in American history and culture and Western civilization.
