Program Description
The Neubauer Collegium provides financial, strategic, and administrative support for research projects that enable University of Chicago faculty to pursue complex questions that require collaboration and are informed by a humanistic perspective. The Neubauer Collegium encourages experimentation in the conceptualization and implementation of collaborative work.
Must contact program officer at least one month before submission. Highly interest in projects with a community focus. Proposals accepted four times a year: January 15th, April 15th, July 15th, and October 15th.
The IHC's community grants program accepts proposals from nonprofit organizations that have a story to tell about Illinois or who have a way to use the humanities to enrich community life. We also accept proposals from organizations looking for technical assistance or general operating support.
THE IHC The Illinois Humanities Council is an educational organization dedicated to fostering a culture in which the humanities are a vital part of the lives of individuals and communities. Through the programs we create and the organizations we fund, the IHC promotes greater understanding of, appreciation for, and involvement in the humanities by all Illinoisans, regardless of their economic resources, cultural backgrounds, or geographic location. Organized as a state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities in 1973, the IHC is now a private nonprofit (501 [c] 3) organization that is funded by contributions from individuals, corporations, and foundations; by the Illinois General Assembly; and by the NEH.
WHAT WE FUND The Illinois Humanities Council (IHC) funds public humanities programming, media projects that have a humanities connection, as well as providing technical assistance and general support for Illinois nonprofit organizations.
It is our priority to support programs developed by, for, or aimed at reaching new or historically neglected audiences. We especially invite applications from organizations that serve these communities and strongly encourage other applicants to extend their proposed programs to include such audiences.
Often characterized as "midcareer" awards, Guggenheim Fellowships are intended for men and women who have already demonstrated exceptional capacity for productive scholarship or exceptional creative ability in the arts.
Fellowships are awarded through two annual competitions: one open to citizens and permanent residents of the United States and Canada, and the other open to citizens and permanent residents of Latin America and the Caribbean. Candidates must apply to the Guggenheim Foundation in order to be considered in either of these competitions.
The Foundation receives between 3,500 and 4,000 applications each year. Although no one who applies is guaranteed success in the competition, there is no prescreening: all applications are reviewed. Approximately 200 Fellowships are awarded each year.
Applicants must submit four hard-copy proposals and one email proposal (see application form for details). Must include contact info for three references.
The Palestinian American Research Center (PARC) announces its first National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Fellowship Programs at Independent Research Institutions (FPIRI) competition for post-doctoral fellowships for research in Palestine.
The Massachusetts Historical Society will award at least two long-term MHS-NEH fellowships for the academic year 2014-2015. The stipend, governed by an NEH formula, will be $4,200 per month for a minimum of four months and a maximum of 12 months. Applicants must specify the number of months for which they are applying. Tenure must be continuous. Within the constraints of the NEH's guidelines, the Society will supplement each stipend with a housing allowance of up to $500 per month plus an allowance for professional expenses. MHS-NEH fellowships are open to U.S.
Requires electronic submission plus two hard copies of materials (which must be RECEIVED by the deadline). Also requires three letters of recommendation, which must be received by 22 January.
Faculty Residential Fellowships are opportunities for individuals to pursue advanced work in the humanities. Applicants may be faculty or staff members of colleges or universities, or independent scholars and writers.

Recipients might eventually produce scholarly articles, a monograph on a specialized subject, a book on a broad topic, an archaeological site report, a translation, an edition, or other scholarly tools.
The Arts Council solicits original ideas for the creation and presentation of arts in all genres. Proposals are accepted only from university-based or -affiliated organizations or units: faculty, departments or centers, recognized student organizations (RSO), campus cultural institutions, and other organizations involved in campus life.

Re: Annual Call for CDI Seminar Proposals
The CDI invites proposals for courses from University of Chicago faculty for the 2013-14 academic year. With support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the CDI offers six team-taught courses each year at the graduate level with participating faculty from different disciplines. Each faculty member teaching in the CDI receives full credit for team-teaching. Additionally, the Mellon grant makes possible a $1500 stipend for each team to share for course-related purposes. For a comprehensive roster of our CDI course offerings and for background information on our consortium for disciplinary innovation with Berkeley, Cambridge, and Columbia, please see: http://franke.uchicago.edu/cdi.html.
