NEH boosts fellowships to $5000/month

Earlier this month the NEH announced that they are increasing the amount of their fellowships from $4200 a month to $5000 a month, for a maximum stipend of $60,000 over a 12-month period. That's almost $10,000 more per year! The increase applies to the NEH's 'regular' fellowships as well as the NEH-Mellon fellowships for digital publication.

NEH announces collaborative research grants

The NEH announces three types of collaborative research grants, for a proposal deadline of December 6, 2017. Each grant type supports groups of two or more scholars engaging in significant and sustained research in the humanities, and seeks to encourage interdisciplinary work. The three available grants are:

Type 1: Convening Grants – up to $50,000
Convening grants last one year and typically fund conferences and working group meetings to sharpen the chosen research topic and discuss and plan subsequent publication.

Type 2: Publication Grants – up to $250,000 (no more than $100,000 per year)
Publication grants last one to three years and support the project toward completion of its publication goals. Publications can appear in traditional print or in digital form. Note that costs paid to publishers and subventions are not supported.

Type 3: Archaeology Grants – up to $250,000 (no more than $100,000 per year)
Archaeology grants last one to three years and support projects that lead to publication.

Please see the Collaborative Research Grants page for more information.
