Humanities Initiatives strengthen the teaching and study of the humanities at institutions of higher education 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.

Projects must address a core topic or set of themes drawn from humanities areas such as history, philosophy, religion, literature, or humanities-informed composition and writing skills.

NEH welcomes applications for projects that are modest in scope, duration, and budget, as well as applications for expansive, long-term projects.

Note: Narrative attachments may not exceed 8 single-spaced pages.

There will be a live Q&A on March 8, 2023, 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

Optional draft review: Submit a partial or full draft of your narrative as an attachment to @email by March 21, 2023 to receive feedback from program officers before the final deadline.
