NEH Humanities Initiatives at Colleges and Universities - Due May 9
Posted April 6, 2022
Discipline(s): Humanities
Submissions Due May 9, 2022
The purpose of these programs is to strengthen the teaching and study of the humanities at institutions of higher education by developing new humanities programs, resources (including those in digital format), or courses, or by enhancing existing ones.
Projects must address a core topic or set of themes drawn from humanities areas such as history, philosophy, religion, literature, or composition and writing skills. NEH welcomes applications for projects that are modest in scope, duration, and budget, as well as applications for expansive, long-term projects. Projects may, but need not be, related to the cultural identity of the applicant institution. For example, a Hispanic-Serving Institution could submit a proposal on ancient Greek drama.
The Humanities Initiatives programs support activities such as:
- Curriculum development
- developing a course or set of courses (including, for example general education courses, honors courses or programs, capstone courses, etc.)
- creating teaching materials (course modules, readers, primary document collections, digital collections, etc.)
- planning and piloting a major, minor, or certificate program
- Student enrichment
- developing internship programs
- developing opportunities for hands-on, place-based, or experiential learning
- Faculty development
- developing pedagogy or curriculum through shared reading programs
- producing a series of guest speakers for faculty and community audiences
- Partnerships
- creating bridge programs or dual enrollment programs between high school and college, or between community college and university
- collaborating with museums or libraries to create teaching materials
- producing humanities programming for students and community members
NEH does not expect applicants to retain the services of external evaluators to be competitive in the Humanities Initiatives programs.
