neh.gov>NEH SUMMER STIPENDS Deadline: October 1, 2001 for awards during the summer of 2002 The National Endowment for the Humanities announces the competition for Summer Stipends awards. These awards support two consecutive months of full-time work on projects that will make a significant contribution to the humanities. In most cases, faculty members of colleges and universities in the United States must be nominated by their institutions for the Summer Stipends competition, and each of these institutions may nominate two applicants. Prospective applicants who will require nomination should acquaint themselves with the nomination procedures of their home institutions well before the October 1 application deadline. Individuals employed in non-teaching capacities in colleges and universities and individuals not affiliated with colleges and universities do not require nomination and may apply directly to the program. Adjunct faculty and academic applicants with appointments terminating by the summer of 2002 also may apply without nomination. TENURE: Tenure must cover two full and uninterrupted months and will normally be held between May 1, 2002, and September 30, 2002. STIPEND: $5,000 PURPOSE AND SCOPE: The Summer Stipends program provides opportunities for individuals to pursue advanced work in disciplines of the humanities during the summer. Projects proposed for support may contribute to scholarly knowledge or to the general public's understanding of the humanities, and they may address broad topics or consist of research and study in a single field. ELIGIBILITY: Applicants need not have advanced degrees, but neither candidates for degrees nor persons seeking support for work toward a degree are eligible to apply for NEH Summer Stipends. 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 the three years immediately preceding the application deadline. SELECTION PROCEDURES: Reviewers consider the significance of the proposed project to the humanities, the quality of the applicant's work, the conception and description of the project, and the likelihood that the proposed work will be accomplished.
