Description
This funding opportunity from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Division of Lifelong Learning supports the design and delivery of Landmarks of American History and Culture and Summer Institutes—intensive, residential professional development programs for K-12 educators or higher education faculty. The goal is to deepen participants' understanding of significant humanities topics and enhance their capacity for effective teaching and scholarship. Projects may focus on any humanities subject (for Institutes) or use place-based approaches (for Landmarks), and must convene 25–36 participants for one to three weeks at a U.S. site. Programs should foster scholarly engagement, model excellent teaching, and build lasting professional communities.
