The Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture (OI) received a $319,500 Project Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) under the Promotion of the Humanities Research program (CFDA 45.161). The grant supports OI's residential fellowship program for early career scholars working to publish their first scholarly books on early American history and culture. In addition to providing fellows with time and critical feedback to develop their research into publishable works, the grant funds OI's efforts to foster an intensive scholarly community through public outreach initiatives, partnerships with academic and cultural institutions, and digital humanities projects such as the "Ben Franklin's Word" podcast. The award period runs from January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027, reflecting the multi-year nature of the fellowship program and OI's broader mission to advance humanities scholarship and public understanding of early American history.

Residential fellowships at the omohundro institute of early american history and culture [the omohundro institute?S NEH fellowship is a residential fellowship program for early career scholars at work on their first books. Beyond the raw resources of primary source materials, scholars require time and expert critical feedback to complete the research and revisions needed to turn a dissertation into a first book; these resources are highly prized and scarce. Since 1945 the omohundro institute (OI) has offered its fellows the distinctive opportunity of innovative engagement with all aspects of the research and publication process. The fellowship, focused on developing research into publishable work, reflects the OI?S core mission of supporting scholars and scholarship within an intensive critical community. The evidence validating the OI?S approach is manifold in the scholarship produced and in the subsequent careers of the young scholars who have held OI fellowships. Beginning in 1983, NEH support has been essential to the success of the OI?S fellowship program.]
