The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is an independent grant-making agency of the United States government dedicated to supporting research, education, preservation, and public programs in the humanities.

NEH grants typically go to cultural institutions, such as museums, archives, libraries, colleges, universities, public television, and radio stations, and to individual scholars. The grants:

  • strengthen teaching and learning in the humanities in schools and colleges across the nation
  • facilitate research and original scholarship
  • provide opportunities for lifelong learning
  • preserve and provide access to cultural and educational resources
  • strengthen the institutional base of the humanities

All Institutions applying for an NEH grant must submit their applications via Grants.gov.

Please consult the grant program guidelines located on NEH’s website (www.neh.gov)  to learn how to prepare the substantive materials, such as your narrative and budget, that you will submit to NEH using Grants.gov.

Office of Digital Humanities (ODH):

The National Endowment for the Humanities has made it official: the agency’s focus on its Digital Humanities Initiative is here to stay. Effective March 25, 2008, the enterprise became the Office of Digital Humanities (ODH), complete with its own resource library, blog outlet, and funding opportunity guide.
