NEH and the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR, the National Research Council) Research Fellowships

(http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/fellowhips-italy.html).

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR, the National Research Council) of the Government of Italy are cooperating in the support of scholarly research. NEH invites applications for humanities research focusing on Italy's cultural heritage in relation to that of the United States. Recipients will be awarded fellowships. The CNR will award fellowships to Italian scholars for research on similar topics in the United States. NEH and CNR each anticipate awarding up to three fellowships.

Fellowships support individuals pursuing advanced research that is of value to scholars and general audiences in the humanities.

Recipients usually produce articles, monographs, books, digital materials, archaeological site reports, translations, editions, and other scholarly tools.

Fellowships support continuous full-time work for a period of six to twelve months.

Fellowships may not be used for:

curricular or pedagogical methods, theories, or surveys;
preparation or revision of textbooks;
projects that seek to promote a particular political, philosophical, religious, or ideological point of view;
projects that advocate a particular program of social action;
works in the creative and performing arts, i.e., painting, writing fiction or poetry, dance performance, etc.; or
doctoral dissertations or theses

NEH Fellowships at Digital Humanities Centers

FYI due Sept. 15
For more information
(http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/fdhc.html).

NEH Fellowships at Digital Humanities Centers (FDHC) support collaboration between digital centers and individual scholars. An award provides funding for both a stipend for the fellow while in residence at the center and a portion of the center's costs for hosting a fellow. Awards are for periods of six to twelve months. The intellectual cooperation between the visiting scholar and the center may take many different forms and may involve humanities scholars of any level of digital expertise. Fellows may work exclusively on their own projects in consultation with center staff, collaborate on projects with other scholars affiliated with the center, function as “apprentices” on existing digital center projects, or any combination of these. The results of the collaboration may range from “proof of concept” to finished product.

The aims of the program are to 1) support innovative collaboration on outstanding digital research projects; 2) expand digital literacy and expertise; 3) promote the work of digital humanities centers; and 4) encourage broad and open access to the humanities. FDHC grants are made to digital humanities centers and, therefore, a staff member of the digital humanities center must serve as the project director. Prospective fellows must apply through a digital center. Centers may submit one application per deadline; individual scholars may apply in collaboration with only one digital center per deadline. Awards support the scholar's fellowship in residence as well as a portion of the center’s direct and indirect costs of hosting such fellowships. The scholar in residence may not be employed by, or associated with, the institution that houses the center.
