Deadline for NEH Summer Stipend Nomination Applications (7/8)
Date: Thursday, July 8, 2021
Time: All Day Event
Middlebury may nominate two members of the faculty for the annual competition for Summer Stipends sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Each stipend provides $6,000 for two consecutive months of full-time research and writing on a humanities project, “advanced research that is of value to humanities scholars, general audiences, or both.” (See eligibility information below).
If you would like to be considered for a Middlebury nomination, please email a description of your proposed project** and a current C.V. to the Dean for Faculty Development & Research mailbox (adeans@middlebury.edu) by email by Thursday, July 8.
** Your project description should be a “draft proposal” in conformance with the NEH summer stipend guidelines (in terms of length, format and content). A selection panel will then choose the College's two nominees. The nominees must then submit their final applications electronically to NEH by September 22.
The guidelines for the NEH Summer Stipend program are available at the following website: https://www.neh.gov/grants/research/summer-stipends
On April 14, 2021, NEH staff conducted a webinar covering the program; including eligibility, the application and nomination processes, and suggestions for writing an effective proposal. The webinar can be viewed via a link on the NEH Summer Stipend page at the address above.
Feel free to contact Nick Brightman or Jennifer Bleich at the Office of Grants & Sponsored Programs to see copies of successful NEH Summer Stipend proposals or for other assistance.
