NEH Division of Research Funding Opportunities | 25

Division of Research www. jm-aq. com Division of Research The Division of Research supports scholarly research that advances knowledge and understanding of the humanities. Through its annual funding opportunities, awards are made to scholars – individuals, collaborative teams, or institutions – working on research projects of significance to specific humanities fields and to the humanities as a whole. The Division supports a wide variety of projects from editions of global scholarly texts to histories of American symbols to important American writers, e. g. , Mark Twain. • Fellowships for College and University Faculty Members • Summer Stipends for College and University Faculty Members • Collaborative Research Awards 26

Division of Research www. jm-aq. com Fellowships • Granted to scholars pursuing projects that embody exceptional research, rigorous analysis, and clear writing. • Recipients granted time to conduct research or to produce books, monographs, peer-reviewed articles, e-books, digital materials, translations with annotations or a critical apparatus, or critical editions resulting from previous research. • Projects may be at any stage of development. • Applications encouraged from scholars in all humanities disciplines and from independent scholars and junior scholars. • Grant Amount: a stipend of up to $5, 000 per month for six to twelve months • Due Date: April 8, 2020 27

Division of Research www. jm-aq. com Sample Fellowship Award • Institution: Williams College (Williamstown, MA) • Award Amount: $50, 400 • Project Title: Matatu Workers, Passengers, and Transport Culture in Nairobi • Project Summary: Examines the history of matatus, minibuses that Nairobi residents rely on daily for transportation. Beyond their utilitarian function, matatus are also a powerful site of historical and cultural analysis because they provide a window on many socioeconomic and political facets of late twentieth century Africa—for example, rapid urbanization, organized crime, indigenous entrepreneurship and capitalism, transition to democracy, the development of markets, labor disputes, class and respectability, and popular culture. 28

Division of Research www. jm-aq. com Summer Stipends • Encouraged from independent scholars and faculty at HSIs, HBCUs, tribal colleges and universities, and community colleges. • Aims to stimulate new research in the humanities and its publication. The program works to accomplish this goal by: • Small awards to individuals pursuing advanced research that is of value to humanities scholars, general audiences, or both. • Supporting projects at any stage of development, especially early-stage research and late-stage writing in which small awards are most effective. • Applicants must be nominated by their institutions; one junior faculty member, one senior. • Grant Amount: up to $6, 000 for two consecutive months (arrangements can be made for other times of the year) • Due Date: September 25, 2019

Division of Research www. jm-aq. com Sample Summer Stipend Award • Institution: Villanova University (Villanova, PA) • Award Amount: $6, 000 • Project Title: Northern Women, Work, and the U. S. Civil War, 1861 -1867 • Project Summary: The dramatic appeal of personal stories like Mrs. Derry’s, a black woman who asserted her right to ride on the streetcars in Philadelphia, make this project a particularly good fit for the NEH "We the People Initiative. " The principal goal of this project is to understand how the war was fought in everyday life, where women like Mrs. Derry worked to affect its outcome abroad and to give it meaning at home. Engaging in the politics of the streets, women- black, white, and immigrant- brought home-front concerns to bear on local administration and focused the big political questions at stake in the Civil War onto local conditions, confounding the notion that what happened at home was separate from what was occurring at the front. 30

Division of Research www. jm-aq. com Collaborative Research • Encourages collaboration that proposes diverse approaches to topics, incorporates multiple points of view, and explores new avenues of inquiry that lead to publications and other resources for humanities scholars, general audiences, or both. • Support for groups of two or more scholars. • Encourage projects in a single field of study, as well as interdisciplinary work, within the humanities and beyond. • Collaborators may be drawn from a single institution or several institutions across the US; up to half of the collaborators may be based outside of the U. S. • Funds may be requested to cover: salary replacement; compensation of collaborators, consultants, and research assistants; fringe benefits; and travel, lodging, and per diem costs. Indirect costs can be included. NEH is rarely able to cover the full cost of a project. 31

Division of Research www. jm-aq. com Collaborative Research (Cont’d) • Convening grants last one year and typically fund conferences and working group meetings to sharpen the chosen research topic and discuss and plan subsequent publication. • Publication grants last one to three years and support the project toward completion of its publication goals. Publications can appear in traditional print or in digital form. Note that costs paid to publishers and subventions are not supported. • Grant Amount: • Convening grants: up to $50, 000 over one year • Publication grants: up to $250, 000 (no more than $100, 000 per year) over one to three years • Due Date: December 4, 2019 32

Division of Research www. jm-aq. com Sample Collaborative Research Award • Institution: Bucknell University (Lewisburg, PA) • Award Amount: $200, 000 • Project Title: Expressions and Transformations of Gender, Family, and Status in Eastern and Central Africa 500 -1800 CE • Project Summary: This collaboration is centered on questions about lineage and gender as dimensions of authority, identity, belonging, and worldview historically. It builds on the esteemed work of colleagues who have undertaken historical studies of gender in Africa to interrogate epistemological assumptions. This project will study the history and meanings of words people spoke to understand what they did, produced, and valued. This project will collect a new set of linguistic data focused on spheres related to the above inquiries for approximately 55 societies across Zambia, Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Mozambique. Theaim is to produce a monograph examining how historically matrilineages underpinned the way communities determined organization, inheritance, and social authority. We leverage our prior individual work in Africa for a comparative trans-regional analysis and expand the geographic and linguistic scope. 33
