NEH Summer Stipends 2019

Program Summary

Summer Stipends support individuals pursuing advanced research that is of value to humanities scholars, general audiences, or both. Eligible projects usually result in articles, monographs, books, digital materials and publications, archaeological site reports, translations, or editions. Projects must incorporate analysis and not result solely in the collection of data. Summer Stipends support continuous full-time work on a humanities project for a period of two consecutive months, and projects at any stage of development. NEH funds may support recipients' compensation, travel, and other costs related to the proposed scholarly research.

Limitation/Eligibility

Each college and university in the United States and its jurisdictions may nominate two faculty members. The Summer Stipends program accepts applications from researchers, teachers, and scholars, whether they have an institutional affiliation or not. Applicants holding tenured or tenure-track positions at institutions of higher education, must, however, be nominated by their institutions to apply for a Summer Stipend.

Award Information

Summer Stipends provide $6,000 for two consecutive months of research and writing. Recipients must work full-time on their projects for these two months and may hold other non-NEH sources of support (for example, sabbaticals and supplementary funding) or grants for the same project during the summer stipend period of performance. Summer Stipends normally support work carried out during the summer months, but arrangements can be made for other times of the year. NEH Summer Stipends are awarded to individuals, not to institutions. They do not require cost sharing and do not include indirect costs. Please see the attached guidelines for more details.
