Brief Description:

The NEH Summer Stipends support individuals pursuing advanced research that is of value to humanities scholars, general audiences, or both.

Eligible projects usually result in articles, monographs, books, digital materials and publications, archaeological site reports, translations, or editions. Projects must not result solely in the collection of data; instead they must also incorporate analysis and interpretation.

Harvard University, as a single institution, may submit two proposals to the NEH Summer Stipends competition. The Office of the Vice Provost for Research is facilitating the internal process to select submissions.
