NEH Summer Stipend: Call for Nominations for Summer 2010
We are soliciting nominations for the 2009-10 National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Stipend Program. Georgetown is entitled to make two nominations, at least one of which must be at the junior faculty level. Each stipend pays $6,000 for two consecutive months on a research project in the humanities. Successful applicants may hold the NEH award and a Georgetown summer grant up to the level of two-ninths of their current academic year’s salary. Faculty who have held major research grants or fellowships from external sources within the last three years are ineligible, as are persons who have held the NEH Summer Stipend within the last five years.
Faculty wishing to be considered for nomination should submit a proposal (three, single-spaced pages) and curriculum vitae (two pages) to the Graduate School by Thursday, September 17. This material should be submitted through the Graduate School's proposal routing system available at the following:

Georgetown’s nominees will be selected by a subcommittee of the Research Steering Committee/Internal Research Committee in time to meet the NEH submission date of Thursday, October 1, 2009. Further information is available on the NEH Summer Stipend Program page.
