National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Fellowships support individuals pursuing advanced research that is of value to scholars and general audiences in the humanities. Recipients usually produce articles, monographs, books, digital materials, archaeological site reports, translations, editions and other scholarly tools. Fellowships support continuous full-time work for a period of six to twelve months.
NEH Fellowships may not be used for curricular or pedagogical methods, theories or surveys; preparation or revision of textbooks; projects that seek to promote a particular political, philosophical, religious, or ideological point of view; projects that advocate a particular program of social action; or works in the creative and performing arts (e.g. painting, dance performance, writing fiction or poetry, etc.); or doctoral dissertations or theses.
