Humanities Connections
Funding Agency:
- National Endowment for the Humanities
The Humanities Connections program seeks to expand the role of the humanities in undergraduate education at two- and four-year institutions by encouraging partnerships between humanities faculty and their counterparts in other areas of study. This page provides an overview of the program. For complete details, including what you must include in your application, consult the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). Please note: the attachment requirements have changed slightly since last year.
Humanities Connections projects should plan or implement a curriculum connecting the humanities to one or more non-humanities fields, including but not limited to the physical and natural sciences; pre-service or professional programs, including law and business; or computer science, data science, and other technology-driven fields. Projects must incorporate the approaches and learning activities of both the humanities and the non-humanities disciplines involved. If your project does not include faculty outside the humanities, you may consider a different grant from the NEH’s Division of Education Programs.
Competitive Humanities Connections proposals will demonstrate:
- how your project expands the role of the humanities in your institution’s undergraduate curriculum;
- how your proposed curriculum would substantively and purposefully integrate the subject matter, approaches, and learning activities of two or more disciplines (with a minimum of one in and one outside of the humanities);
- how faculty from each relevant discipline would collaborate to plan, implement, and/or deliver the curriculum;
- how your institution would sustain the curriculum over the long term, whether through interdisciplinary minors or certificates; curricular pathways such as concentrations within majors or general education programs; or other models appropriate to your institution.
Maximum award amount up to $50,000 for Planning; up to $150,000 for Implementation
