Direct an NEH Summer Program in 2016!

NEH logo The National Endowment for the Humanities is accepting applications for grants to direct a summer program for college faculty on a humanities topic of your expertise. See examples in this year's list of summer programs. Why direct an NEH summer program? Directors influence their fields of expertise through intense collegial study, often resulting in participants' publications. Directors strengthen teaching and research at the undergraduate and K-12 levels. Directors join a distinguished roster of NEH summer program leaders and bring distinction to their home institutions. Directors choose participants from across the country, including graduate students. Directors receive compensation ($15,000-$22,500) based on the duration of the program. To apply, consult the application guidelines for NEH Summer Seminars and Institutes or NEH Landmarks of American History and Culture Workshops. NEH strongly encourages you to discuss your proposal with staff, who will even critique drafts. Call (202) 606-8500 or send e-mail to sem-inst@neh.gov or landmarks@neh.gov. The deadline to propose a summer program for Summer 2016 is February 24, 2015.
