Description
The Humanities Connections program, funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), aims to expand the role of the humanities in undergraduate education at two- and four-year institutions. It encourages collaborative partnerships between humanities faculty and faculty from other academic disciplines to develop or implement curricula that integrate humanities with non-humanities fields. These fields may include physical and natural sciences, professional programs such as law and business, computer science, data science, and other technology-driven areas.
Projects must meaningfully incorporate the subject matter, approaches, and learning activities of both humanities and non-humanities disciplines. The program supports two types of grants:
- Planning Grants: Up to $50,000 for 12 months to develop interdisciplinary curricula.
- Implementation Grants: Up to $150,000 for 18 to 36 months to carry out curriculum implementation and faculty development.
Competitive proposals will demonstrate how the project:
- Expands the role of humanities in the institution’s undergraduate curriculum.
- Integrates multiple disciplines with at least one humanities and one non-humanities field.
- Involves collaboration among faculty from all relevant disciplines.
- Plans for long-term sustainability of the curriculum through minors, certificates, concentrations, or general education pathways.
This funding opportunity is unique and will not be reoffered in the future. Applicants should carefully review the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for detailed requirements and consider contacting NEH program officers for guidance.
