GRANTS: 2010 NEH Summer Seminars and Institutes

[Ryan Goble]

As always a great line of up Summer Seminars from the folks at NEH! I've pasted all the major program info below with a link to the website and applications at the very end! Enjoy!

The National Endowment for the Humanities is an independent grant-making agency of the Federal Government. Each year the NEH’s Division of Education Programs offers teachers opportunities to study humanities topics in a variety of Summer Seminars and Institutes. The dates and duration of each project are listed under each title.The application deadline is March 2, 2010 (postmark).

Amount of Award
All teachers selected to participate in an NEH seminar or institute will be awarded a fixed stipend based on the length of the seminar or institute to help cover travel costs, books and other research expenses, and living expenses: $2,100 (2 weeks), $2,700 (3 weeks), $3,300 (4 weeks), $3,900 (5 weeks), or $4,500 (6 weeks).

Eligibility
These projects are designed for full‑time teachers including home-schooling parents. Applications from teachers in public, private, charter, and religiously affiliated schools receive equal consideration. Other K-12 school personnel, such as librarians and administrators, may also be eligible to apply, depending on the specific seminar or institute. Substitute teachers or part-time personnel are not eligible.

New this year: Up to two seminar spaces and three institute spaces are available for current full-time graduate students who intend to pursue careers in K-12 teaching.

Teachers at schools in the United States or its territorial possessions or Americans teaching in foreign schools where at least 50 percent of the students are American nationals are eligible for this program. Applicants must be United States citizens, residents of U.S. jurisdictions, or foreign nationals who have been residing in the United States or its territories for at least the three years immediately preceding the application deadline. Foreign nationals teaching abroad at non-U.S. chartered institutions are not eligible to apply.

Applicants should consult the guidelines and application information received directly from seminar and institute directors concerning any additional eligibility requirements specific to the project. Selection committees are directed to give first consideration to applicants who have not participated in an NEH-supported seminar or institute in the last three years.

New this year: An individual may apply to up to three projects in any one year (seminars, institutes or Landmarks workshops), but may participate in only one. Please note that eligibility criteria differ significantly between the Seminars and Institutes and the Landmarks Workshops Programs.

How to Apply
Please e-mail, telephone, or send by U.S. Post a request for application information and expanded project descriptions to the seminar and institute directors listed; in some cases, these materials will also be available on project Web sites. You may request information about as many projects as you like. You may apply to up to three projects in any one year (seminars, institutes or Landmarks workshops), but may participate in only one. The application deadline is March 2, 2010 (postmark).

Information
Please direct all questions concerning individual seminars and institutes, as well as all requests for application materials, to the appropriate information contact person listed below for each program.

Equal Opportunity
Endowment programs do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, or age. For further information about NEH’s EEO policy, write to the Equal Employment Opportunity Officer, National Endowment for the Humanities, 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20506. TDD (for the hearing impaired only): 202‑606‑8282.

Seminars

A seminar for school teachers enables sixteen participants, of whom two may be current full-time graduate students who intend to pursue careers in K-12 teaching, to explore a topic or set of readings with a scholar having special interest and expertise in the field. The core material of the seminar need not relate directly to the school curriculum; the principal goal of the seminar is to engage teachers in the scholarly enterprise and to expand and deepen their understanding of the humanities through reading, discussion, writing, and reflection.

Institutes

An institute for school teachers, typically led by a team of core faculty and visiting scholars, is designed to present the best available scholarship on important humanities issues and works taught in the nation's schools. The 25 to 30 participants, of whom three may be current full-time graduate students who intend to pursue careers in K-12 teaching, compare and synthesize the various perspectives offered by the faculty, make connections between the institute content and classroom applications, and often develop improved teaching materials for their classrooms.
