======================== HES POSTING =================
NEH Fellowships, 1999-2000 Deadline: May 1, 1998
The National Endowment for the Humanities announces the 1999-2000
competition for NEH fellowships. 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 book-length treatment of a broad topic, an
archaeological site report, a translation, an edition, or an other
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 not
granting the Ph.D. in the subject area of the project, scholars affiliated
with other types of organizations, and independent scholars 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.
Stipends and Tenure: Tenure must cover an uninterrupted period of from six
to twelve whole months. The earliest date that fellows may begin tenure is
January 1, 1999, and the latest is the start of the spring term of the
1999-2000 academic year, or April 1, 2000 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 from nine to twelve months. A stipend of $24,000 will be
awarded to those holding fellowships for a grant period of from six to
eight months.
Submission of Applications: All applications must be postmarked on or
before May 1, 1998. Please note that the Endowment does not accept
applications submitted by fax or e-mail. Applicants will be notified of
the decisions on their applications by mid-December 1998.
