ANNOUNCEMENT: NEH FELLOWSHIPS, 1998-99
DEADLINE: May 1, 1997
The National Endowment for the Humanities announces the 1998-99
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 another scholarly tool.
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, 1998, and the latest is the start of the spring
term of the 1998-99 academic year, or April 1, 1999 for those who are
not teachers. Tenure periods for teachers must include at least
one complete term of the academic year. The maximum stipend is
$30,000. Actual stipends will be based on the academic or annual
salary, other support provided during tenure, and the length of
tenure.
Submission of Applications: All applications must be postmarked on or
before May 1, 1997. Please note that the
Endowment does not accept applications submitted by fax or ecmail.
Applicants will be notified of the decisions on their applications by
mid-December 1997.
