NEH Fellowships, 1999-2000
Deadline: May 1, 1998
The National Endowment for the Humanities announces the
1999-2000 competition for NEH fellowships. These
fellowships provide opportunities for individuals to pursue
advanced research in the humanities. Applicants may be
faculty members of colleges and universities, staff members
of colleges and universities, or faculty and staff members
of primary and secondary schools. Scholars and writers
working independently or in institutions such as museums,
libraries, and historical associations or in institutions
with no connection to the humanities also are eligible to
apply.
Projects supported by NEH Fellowships may contribute to
scholarly knowledge or to the general public's understanding
of the humanities. Such work might eventually produce
scholarly articles, a monograph on a specialized subject, a
book-length treatment of a broad topic, an archaeological
site report, a translation, an edition, or an other
scholarly tool.
Citizenship: Applicants should be U.S. citizens, native
residents of U.S. jurisdictions, or foreign nationals who
have been legal residents in the U.S. or its jurisdictions
for at least three years immediately preceding the
application deadline.
Eligibility: Scholars affiliated with institutions granting
the Ph.D. in the subject area of the project should apply to
the Fellowships for University Teachers Program. Scholars
affiliated with institutions not granting the Ph.D. in the
subject area of the project, scholars affiliated with other
types of organizations, and independent scholars should
apply to the Fellowships for College Teachers and
Independent Scholars Program. Applicants whose professional
training includes a degree program must have received their
degrees or completed all official requirements for them by
the application deadline. Persons seeking support for work
leading toward a degree are not eligible to apply, nor are
active candidates for degrees. Further information on the
two programs is available in the printed guidelines.
Stipends and Tenure: Tenure must cover an uninterrupted
period of from six to twelve whole months. The earliest
date that fellows may begin tenure is January 1, 1999, and
the latest is the start of the spring term of the 1999-2000
academic year, or April 1, 2000 for those who are not
teachers. Tenure periods for teachers must include at least
one complete term of the academic year.
A stipend of $30,000 will be awarded to those holding
fellowships for a grant period of from nine to twelve
months. A stipend of $24,000 will be awarded to those
holding fellowships for a grant period of from six to eight
months.
Submission of Applications: All applications must be
postmarked on or before May 1, 1998. Please note that the
Endowment does not accept applications submitted by fax or
e-mail. Applicants will be notified of the decisions on
their applications by mid-December 1998.
