These Fellowships provide opportunities for individuals to pursue advanced research in the humanities. Applicants may be faculty members of colleges and universities, staff members of colleges and universities, or faculty and staff members of primary and secondary schools. Scholars and writers working independently or in institutions such as museums, libraries, and historical associations, or in institutions with no connection to the humanities, also are eligible to apply. Projects supported by NEH Fellowships may contribute to scholarly knowledge or to the general public's understanding of the humanities. Such work might eventually produce scholarly articles; a monograph on a specialized subject; a site report; a translation, an edition, or a database; or another scholarly tool. CITIZENSHIP: Applicants should be U.S. citizens, native residents of U.S. jurisdictions, or foreign nationals who have been legal residents in the U.S. or its jurisdictions for at least three years immediately preceding the application deadline. ELIGIBILITY: Scholars affiliated with institutions granting the Ph.D. in the subject area of the project should apply to the Fellowships for University Teachers Program. Scholars affiliated with institutions no granting the Ph.D. in the subject area of the project should apply to the Fellowships for College Teachers and Independent Scholars Program. Applicants whose professional training includes a degree program must have received their degrees or completed all official requirements for them by the application deadline. Persons seeking support for work leading toward a degree are not eligible to apply, nor are active candidates for degrees. Further information on the two programs is available in the printed guidelines and on the Endowment's web site: <http://www.neh.gov> TENURE AND STIPENDS: Tenure must cover an uninterrupted period of from six to twelve months. The earliest beginning date is January 1, 2000, and the latest is the start of the spring term of the 2000-2001 academic term, or April 1, 2001 for those who are not teachers. Tenure periods for teachers must include at least one complete term of the academic year. A stipend of $30,000 will be awarded to those holding fellowships for a grant period of nine to twelve months. A stipend of $24,000 will be awarded to those holding fellowships for a grant period of six to eight months. SUBMISSION OF APPLICATION: All applications must be postmarked on or before May 1, 1999.
