Opportunity Information: Apply for 20180411 FEL
This opportunity, titled "Fellowships," is a discretionary grant program from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) (CFDA 45.160) designed to support individual scholars conducting advanced humanities research. The core goal is to fund projects that will produce substantive scholarly or public-facing contributions that matter to humanities specialists, general audiences, or both. Typical outcomes include peer-reviewed articles, monographs and books, translations, scholarly editions, archaeological site reports, and other research resources, including digital outputs when appropriate. In practice, the fellowship functions as support for concentrated time to research, write, and bring a significant humanities project to completion.
A major feature highlighted in the notice is the NEH-Mellon Fellowships for Digital Publication, a special track jointly supported by NEH and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. This part of the program is specifically aimed at individual scholars whose interpretive humanities research cannot be adequately expressed in a traditional print format and instead requires a digital form of publication to meet the project’s research aims. The key eligibility requirement is that the digital publication plan must be essential, not optional or merely supplemental. In other words, reviewers are looking for projects that are "born-digital" in concept: the research questions, evidence, and interpretive approach should demand digital presentation because the project relies on capabilities that print cannot reasonably accommodate.
The announcement signals what a competitive digital publication project is likely to include. Successful proposals will often integrate visual and/or audio content, other multimedia materials, interactive or non-linear structures, or flexible reading pathways that allow audiences to navigate the scholarship in ways that a conventional book cannot support. Just as importantly, applicants are expected to think beyond building the digital product itself and present an active distribution plan, meaning a clear strategy for how the work will be published, accessed, discovered, and used by its intended audiences over time.
Administratively, the opportunity is offered as a grant (funding instrument type: Grant) under the humanities funding activity category. Eligibility is limited to individuals rather than institutions, reinforcing that the program is meant to underwrite a scholar’s time and effort toward a defined research and publication outcome. The listed award ceiling is $60,000. The opportunity information shows an original closing date of 2018-04-11 and a creation date of 2018-02-02, indicating this specific notice pertains to that application cycle.Apply for 20180411 FEL
