National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Stipends support individuals pursuing advanced research that is of value to scholars and general audiences in the humanities. Recipients of the $6,000 grants spend two months of full-time work producing articles, monographs, books, digital materials, archaeological site reports, translations, editions, or other scholarly tools. The Summer Stipends program welcomes projects that respond to NEH’s new Bridging Cultures initiative, which focuses on cultures internationally or within the United States. Summer Stipends support projects at any stage of development. Since the College can only nominate two tenure-track or tenured faculty for Summer Stipends, all such faculty must submit applications to the College's internal selection process. (Non-tenure track faculty can submit applications outside of this process.)

Please contact Christopher Tassava at x. 5833 or ctassava for more information.

Deadlines: College - Tuesday, September 6; NEH - Thursday, September 29, 2011

Applications to the Core program can be submitted between February 1 and August 2, 2011; applications to the Specialists program are accepted on a rolling basis.

The Nathan Cummings Foundation's Contemplative Practice Program makes a small number of grants each year to explore contemplative pathways to innovation, creativity and more effective collaboration. The search for innovative solutions - to poverty, global warming, the economy, health care, international peace and security - gets more urgent with the growing sense that we lack the capacity to deal with the highly complex problems that confront us.
