Opportunity Information: Apply for 20250409 HB
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), through its Division of Research Programs, is offering its Awards for Faculty competition focused on faculty and staff affiliated with Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs). The central aim of this opportunity is to strengthen humanities scholarship at these institutions by widening access to research support and creating more robust pathways for individual scholars to pursue sustained humanities research. In practical terms, the program is meant to help scholars move important humanities projects forward in ways that matter to other researchers, to students, and to the broader public.
This is a discretionary federal grant program in the humanities (CFDA/Assistance Listing 45.160) administered by NEH. Funding is awarded directly to individuals rather than institutions, and it is designed to support scholarly research efforts. The projects supported are expected to produce work of value to humanities audiences, which can include specialist scholarly communities as well as general readers or learners, depending on the nature and goals of the proposed research.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number 20250409 HB, with an application closing date of April 9, 2025 (original closing date). NEH anticipates making about 22 awards under this competition. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $60,000, which sets the upper limit for how much an individual applicant can request. The source record for this opportunity was created on December 4, 2024.
Eligibility is stated as “Individuals,” with the program specifically tied to faculty and staff at HSIs, HBCUs, and TCUs. Because institutional definitions and applicant requirements can vary by program, the notice directs applicants to consult the “Eligibility Information” section of the official Notice of Funding Opportunity for the detailed criteria and any documentation expectations.Apply for 20250409 HB
