NEH Summer Stipend: Call for Nominations for Summer 2008
We are soliciting nominations for the 2007-08 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 Monday, September 17. This material should be submitted through the Graduate School's proposal routing system available at the following:
https://www9.georgetown.edu/grad/gsas_www/gu_awards/
When in the proposal transmittal form, please select "NEH Summer Stipend Program" from the drop-menu. Provide all information requested, with the exception of prior award history, budget and cover letter.
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 Monday, October 2, 2007. Further information is available on the NEH Summer Stipend Program page.
Please note that this material should be submitted to NEH on-line via Grants.gov, though this should be done only after Georgetown’s nomination process is completed. |
- Collaborative Research Grants: Support for original research undertaken by a team of two or more scholars or research coordinated by an individual scholar that because of its scope or complexity requires additional staff and resources beyond the individual's salary. Deadline: November 1, 2007
- Fellowships and Faculty Research Awards: Fellowships and Faculty Research Awards support individuals pursuing advanced research in the humanities that contributes to scholarly knowledge or to the general public's understanding of the humanities. Recipients usually produce scholarly articles, monographs on specialized subjects, books on broad topics, archaeological site reports, translations, editions, or other scholarly tools. Foreign nationals who have been living in the United States or its jurisdictions for at least the three years prior to the application deadline are also eligible. Deadline: May 1, 2008
- Fellowship Programs at Independent Research Institutions: Support for fellowships at institutions devoted to advanced study and research in the humanities; provides scholars with a collegial environment and access to resources that might not be available at their home institutions. Deadline: August 19, 2008
- Teaching Development Fellowships: Support college and university teachers pursuing research aimed specifically at deepening their core knowledge in the humanities to improve their undergraduate teaching. The program has three broad goals: 1) to improve the depth and quality of humanities education in the United States; 2) to strengthen the link between research and teaching in the humanities; and 3) to foster excellence in undergraduate instruction. Deadline: October 1, 2008
- Implementation Grants for Museums and Historical Organizations: Support for interpretive museum exhibitions (both long-term and traveling) and the interpretation of historic sites, and include support for accompanying publications, websites, and public humanities programming. Public humanities programs support lifelong learning in history, literature, comparative religion, philosophy, and other fields of the humanities for broad public audiences. Cost sharing required: the balance must be met through cost sharing, such as cash contributions by the applicant and third parties as well as third-party in-kind contributions, such as donated goods and services.
