Eligibility

Within the parameters listed below, individual researchers, teachers, and scholars eligible whether they have an institutional affiliation or not. Applicants holding tenured or tenure-track positions at institutions of higher education must be nominated by their institutions (unless they are exempt from this requirement) and must be selected through this limited submissions selection process.

U.S. citizens, whether they reside inside or outside the United States, are eligible. Foreign nationals who have lived in the United States or its jurisdictions for at least the three years prior to the application deadline are also eligible. Foreign nationals who take up permanent residence outside the United States any time between the application deadline and the end of the period of performance will forfeit their eligibility. Leaving the U.S. on a temporary basis is permitted.

While you do not need to have an advanced degree, if you are currently enrolled in a degree granting program then you are ineligible. If you have satisfied all the requirements for a degree and are awaiting its conferral, you are eligible, but you must include a letter from the dean of the conferring school or their department chair attesting to your status as of the application deadline.

If you are tenured or on a tenure track and teach full time at an institution of higher education that is not exempt from nomination, your institution must nominate you to apply for a Summer Stipend.

You may apply without a nomination if you are:

• an independent scholar not affiliated with an institution of higher education
• a U.S. citizen teaching at a foreign institution
• non-tenure-track faculty at an institution of higher education
• a staff member, but not faculty, at an institution of higher education (you may not teach during the academic year preceding the award)
• community college faculty
• emeritus faculty
• a faculty member at an institution of higher education that is one of these federally recognized minority-serving institutions:
  • Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs)
  • Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-Serving Institutions (ANNHs)
  • Native American-Serving Non-Tribal Institutions (NASNTIs)
  • Predominantly Black Institutions (PBIs)

UArizona is eligible to submit toward the September 27, 2022, deadline but not to the May 17, 2022, deadline.

An internal competition for the September 27, 2022, deadline will be available on UA Competition Space in summer, 2022.

NDNP is a partnership between NEH and the Library of Congress (LC) to create a national digital resource of historically significant newspapers published between 1690 and 1963, from all 56 states and U.S. jurisdictions. This searchable database will be permanently maintained by LC and will be freely accessible online (see Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers). Successful applicants will select newspapers—published in their state or jurisdiction between 1690 and 1963—and over a period of two years, convert approximately 100,000 pages into digital files (preferably from microfilm), according to the technical guidelines outlined by LC. 

UArizona may nominate two applicants.

The National Endowment for the Humanities’ Summer Stipends program aims to stimulate new research in the humanities and its publication. The program works to accomplish this goal by:

• Providing small awards to individuals pursuing advanced research that is of value to humanities scholars, general audiences, or both.
• Supporting projects at any stage of development, but especially early-stage research and late-stage writing in which small awards are most effective
• Furthering the NEH’s commitment to diversity and inclusion in the humanities by encouraging applications from independent scholars and faculty at Hispanic Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and community colleges.

Summer Stipends support continuous full-time work on a humanities project for a period of two consecutive months.  NEH funds may support recipients’ compensation, travel, and other costs related to the proposed scholarly research.
