These Fellowships support six to twelve months of individual research with stipends of $24,000 or $40,000 depending on the length of tenure. Eligible applicants are United States citizens and also foreign nationals who have been in residence in the United States for the three years immediately prior to the May 1, 2003 deadline. Fellowships support individuals pursuing advanced research in the humanities that contributes to scholarly knowledge or to the general public's understanding of the humanities. Applicants may be faculty or staff members of colleges or universities, or of primary or secondary schools, or independent scholars or writers. Fellowships provide support for projects that can be completed during the tenure of the award, as well as for work that is part of a long-term endeavor. Recipients usually produce scholarly articles, monographs on specialized subjects, books on broad topics, archaeological site reports, translations, editions, or other scholarly tools. Fellowship awards cannot be used for: * studying teaching methods or theories * surveying courses and programs * preparing institutional curricula * works in the creative or performing arts--painting, writing fiction or poetry, dance performance, etc. * projects that seek to promote a particular political, philosophical, religious, or ideological point of view * projects that advocate a particular program of social action Special Initiatives Applicants who would like their projects to be considered under one of the following special initiatives should so indicate in the project narrative. Those responding to "We the People" should also check the box on the cover sheet. * Humanities and Healthcare Projects exploring subjects such as the history of healthcare and public health, medical ethics, disability studies, and interdisciplinary approaches to health-related humanities topics are eligible for joint support from NEH and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. * Research in the Library of Congress Research projects in the humanities that draw on the collections of the Library of Congress (LOC) are eligible for joint support by LOC and NEH. Only applicants who qualify as junior scholars under the Fellowships guidelines are eligible for joint support. * We the People To help Americans make sense of their history and of the world around them, NEH has launched an initiative: [http://www.wethepeople.gov/] We the People. NEH encourages applications that explore significant events and themes in our nation's history and culture and that advance knowledge of the principles that define America. Proposals will be evaluated through NEH's established review process and will not receive special consideration. Last year the NEH received 1161 applications for Fellowships and offered 170 Fellowships. Several of them concerned topics in history of science, technology, and medicine.
