UPCOMING GRANT OPPORTUNITIES:
Humanities Initiatives at HBCUs
Humanities Initiatives at HBCUs strengthen the teaching and study of the humanities by developing new or enhancing existing programs, resources (including those in digital format), or courses that explore, interpret, and preserve the diversity of human cultures, ideas, and practices, past and present.

Awards for Faculty at HBCUs
The NEH Awards for Faculty at HBCUs: The Awards for Faculty program strengthens the humanities at Historically Black Colleges and Universities by encouraging and expanding humanities research opportunities for individual faculty and staff members. Awards support individuals pursuing scholarly research that is of value to humanities scholars, students, and/or general audiences. The deadline for the program this year is April 12, 2023.
Staff will once again be accepting (optional) draft narratives and work plans for feedback through February 8, 2023. In addition, a webinar about the program will be given on January 27, 1:00 pm ET. Please see the NEH website and Notice of Funding Opportunity for further information about the program, format for the draft narratives and workplans, and additional resources (Awards for Faculty at Historically Black Colleges and Universities | The National Endowment for the Humanities (neh.gov)).

Grant Opportunities for Research Awards
The National Endowment for the Arts invites applicants to engage with the agency’s five-year research agenda through two funding opportunities for research projects: Research Grants in the Arts and Research Labs. The application deadline for the FY 2024 cycle for both grant opportunities is Monday, March 27, 2023. Guidelines are now available on our website. You can also watch the archive of our session at the 2022 HBCU Week Conference—Research, Innovation, and the Arts: NEA Research Labs.
