About this opportunity
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Division of Research is soliciting applications for the Collaborative Research program, which supports scholarly projects that advance humanistic knowledge through collaborative efforts. The program seeks proposals from groups of two or more scholars aimed at creating tangible interpretive products such as co-authored monographs, peer-reviewed articles, or themed journal issues. Eligible applicants include special district governments, county and city governments, tribal governments, 501(c)(3) nonprofits, and public and private higher education institutions. Projects must pursue significant research questions and can be rooted in a single field or span multiple disciplines, with a preference for international collaborations. The application deadline is December 3, 2025, with key evaluation criteria focusing on the scholarly significance, potential impact, and collaborative nature of the proposed research.
The grant opportunity offers two funding categories: Planning International Collaboration (up to $25,000) and Manuscript Preparation (up to $250,000), with a total anticipated budget of approximately $2,500,000 to be distributed among an estimated 15 recipients. Funded projects must commence between October 1, 2026, and September 1, 2027, with performance periods ranging from six to twelve months for planning collaborations and one to three years for manuscript preparation. The program falls under the Promotion of the Humanities Research program (CFDA 45.161) and is designed to support scholarly work that enhances understanding across humanities disciplines, with a strong emphasis on collaborative and interdisciplinary research approaches.
