Summer Stipends of $5,000 for NEH

The National Endowment for the Humanities is offering stipends of $5,000 to faculty to devote two consecutive summer months to full-time study and research. To enter the competition, faculty must be nominated by the University. Eligible projects include the study of history, philosophy, languages, linguistics, literature, archaeology, jurisprudence, the history, theory and criticism of the arts, ethics, comparative religion, and those aspects of the social sciences and natural sciences that employ historical or philosophical approaches.

Each university may nominate two faculty. SSU faculty interested in being nominated should review the application guidelines on the NEH Summer Stipend website. To be considered for nomination, submit a complete application [résumé, project narrative, bibliography, and edition/translation sample (if applicable)] along with eight copies to the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs in Nichols 146 by no later than 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 5.

The Faculty Subcommittee on Sponsored Programs will review applications and recommend two candidates to the Provost for nomination. Final proposals from nominees must be submitted online to NEH by 5 p.m. on Oct. 2. For additional information, contact ORSP at 4-2448.
