Upcoming Deadlines
Limited Submission Notice of Intent
National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Summer Stipends
Internal Notice of Intent due July 15, 2024
NEH submission deadline - September 18, 2024
The National Endowment for the Humanities’ Summer Stipends program aims to stimulate new research in the humanities and its publication. Summer Stipends support continuous full-time work on a humanities project for a period of two consecutive months. NEH funds may support recipients’ compensation, travel, and other costs related to the proposed scholarly research. Projects can be supported at any stage of development, but especially early-stage research and late-stage writing in which small awards are most effective. As part of the internal Notice of Intent, you will be required to submit a 2-page project description and CV.

Upcoming Events & Trainings

July 25, 2024
10:00-11:00am Mountain
Virtual event
The heart of any successful grant proposal is a compelling and convincing narrative. In this webinar, Hanover will dive into the art of storytelling as it relates to the grant writing process and explore how principal investigators can bring their proposals to life by applying storytelling principles and practices in their writing.
Faculty Proposal Writing Seminar
October 25, November 1, 8, and 15, 2024
1:00-3:00pm Mountain
Zoom (virtual)
Registration will open in August
Join us for the next annual faculty proposal writing seminar! The goal of this seminar is to provide those with some proposal writing experience with new approaches and ways to think about preparing a proposal. The approaches taught during the seminar will help demystify the proposal writing process but at the same time provide concrete tools to use in organizing the information and arguments necessary for the development of a compelling proposal.
Seminar content is spread out over the four days (i.e., new content each day). Participants must attend all four days to receive the full training. Full attendance of this seminar satisfies the prerequisite for application to the Office of Research seed grant program.
