What the grant funds
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Division of Research Programs is accepting applications for the Collaborative Research program. This program supports groups of two or more scholars seeking to increase humanistic knowledge through convenings, manuscript preparation for collaborative publications, and the creation of scholarly digital projects. Projects must pursue significant research questions and lead to a tangible interpretive product. The collaborative work can be rooted in a single field of study or cross disciplines. NEH encourages collaboration with scholars working in the natural or social sciences, but projects must focus on humanistic content and employ humanistic methods.
