The NEH Summer Stipends Program aims to stimulate new research in the humanities and its publication. Summer Stipends support continuous full-time work on a humanities project for a period of 2 consecutive months.  This year, the maximum award amount is being increased to $8,000. NEH funds may support recipients’ compensation, travel, and other costs related to the proposed research.

Guidance for the Nomination Process

SLU can nominate one tenured or tenure-track faculty for the Program. NTT, contingent, and adjunct faculty need no nomination and can apply directly to NEH. Tenured and tenure-track faculty seeking a SLU nomination must submit materials (project narrative, work plan, bibliography, CV) through SLU's OpenWater portal by May 24, 2024, here: https://slu.secure-platform.com/a/solicitations/170/home.

A SLU faculty selection committee will review and select the most suitable applicants and notify all applicants of the outcome by June 7, 2024, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
