Description
This limited competition grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is designed to strengthen the capacity of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) to support humanities research. The program provides funding to eligible institutions to hire replacement instructors or staff when a faculty or staff member has been awarded an NEH Awards for Faculty fellowship. The goal is to ensure continuity in humanities teaching and administrative responsibilities during the fellow’s temporary leave or reduced course load.
Funds may be used to:
- Hire replacement instructors for humanities courses the NEH fellow would normally teach.
- Offset costs for administrative roles (e.g., undergraduate advising, department chair duties) if these are part of the fellow’s regular load.
- Provide stipends for other faculty or staff who assume additional teaching or administrative responsibilities.
The program uses a streamlined application process and does not require a full narrative or budget.
