Opportunity Information: Apply for 20251119 RZ
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), through its Division of Research, is offering funding under its Collaborative Research grant program to support teams of two or more scholars working together to advance humanistic knowledge. The core purpose of the program is to help collaborative groups tackle significant humanities research questions and move that work toward a clear, tangible interpretive outcome. NEH is specifically interested in projects that result in manuscript preparation for collaborative print publications, or projects focused on planning an international research collaboration. While a project can be grounded in a single humanities field, the program also welcomes work that crosses disciplines, as long as it remains centered on meaningful humanities inquiry and produces a concrete scholarly product.
This opportunity is a discretionary grant (CFDA 45.161) with an application deadline of November 19, 2025. NEH expects to make about 15 awards, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $250,000 per grant. The funding is aimed at enabling substantive collaborative research and the activities needed to shape that research into an interpretive deliverable, such as preparing a publishable manuscript created by a scholarly team or laying the groundwork for an international partnership that will produce future humanities scholarship.
Eligible applicants include a wide range of public and nonprofit entities. These include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions where applicable). Overall, the grant is designed for organizations capable of supporting coordinated work among multiple scholars, with the expectation that the collaboration will yield scholarship that contributes in a significant way to humanities understanding.Apply for 20251119 RZ
