National Endowment for
the Humanities (NEH)
2006 Summer Stipend Program
http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/stipends.html
Program Description:
Summer Stipends provide individuals with an opportunity to pursue research in the humanities that contributes to scholarly knowledge or to the public's understanding of the humanities. Projects should be completed during the tenure of an award or represent part of a long-term endeavor. Recipients might eventually produce scholarly articles, a monograph on a specialized subject, a book on a broad topic, an archaeological site report, a translation, an edition, a database, or other scholarly tools.
Awards and Nominations:
Awards are for $5,000 for two consecutive months of full-time research and writing. Summer Stipends recipients may hold other research grants during the tenure of their awards, but they must work full-time on their projects during the two months of their tenure. Summer Stipends normally support work carried out during the summer months, but arrangements can be made for holding tenure at other times of the year.
Faculty members teaching full-time at colleges and universities must be
nominated by their institutions to apply for a Summer Stipend. Applications
should be submitted online by faculty only after they have been nominated.
Each college and university in the United States and its jurisdictions
may nominate two faculty members. Of the two, at least one should be a
junior nominee. Applicants who hold the rank of instructor or assistant
professor or who are at comparably early stages of their careers will be
considered junior nominees. Those holding the rank of associate professor
or professor will be considered senior nominees.
Deadlines
| UIC | August 1, 2005 |
| NEH | October 3, 2005 |
Eligibility:
Please review the following eligibility criteria when considering faculty for nomination.
- U.S. citizens or foreign nationals who have been living in the United States or its jurisdictions for at least the three years prior to the time of application are eligible to apply for a Summer Stipend.
- Recipients of a Summer Stipend in 2001 or after are ineligible.
- Students enrolled in a degree program are ineligible.
- Individuals who have held a major fellowship or research grant or its equivalent within the last three academic years prior to the deadline are ineligible. A "major fellowship or research grant" is a postdoctoral research award that provides a stipend of at least $10,000. Sabbaticals and grants from an individual's own institution and stipends and grants from other sources supporting study and research during the summer are not considered major fellowships.
- Individuals who have previously received a Summer
Stipend may apply to support a new stage in their project. These
applications will be judged
by the same
criteria as other applications. Previous recipients, however, must
wait five years from the time they received their award to reapply.
Summer Stipends awards cannot be used for: - Research for doctoral dissertations or theses by students enrolled in a degree program;
- Specific policy studies or educational or technical impact assessments;
- Preparing or publishing textbooks;
- Studying teaching methods or theories, surveys of courses and programs, or curriculum development; and
- Creating inventories of collections.
Internal Competition:
OVCR will convene a committee to review the applications
and select two UIC nominees. Applications submitted to the internal competition
