Posted July 20, 2022
Discipline(s): Humanities and Social Sciences
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Division of Research Programs is accepting applications for the Archaeological and Ethnographic Field Research program. The purpose of this program is to provide funding to conduct empirical research in the United States or abroad in order to answer questions of importance to the humanities. While the dissemination of results through publications and other media is the ultimate expectation of these awards, the program supports field costs such as travel, accommodation, field staff and equipment, and salary replacement for the project director and collaborating scholars.
NEH Field Research awards provide up to three years of support for domestic or international fieldwork projects. Allowable costs may include:
- travel, lodging, and subsistence
- permits, fees, and visas for project personnel
- field equipment and supplies
- labor, specialists, translators, and other local vendors
- salary or salary replacement costs for the project director and compensation for collaborating scholars, including support for foreign individuals who are named as collaborating scholars
You may request up to $75,000 for a project with a period of performance between four and twelve months. You may request up to $75,000 per year for a project with a period of performance of one to three years, not to exceed $150,000.
