Deadline: 15-Sep-21
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Division of Research Programs is accepting applications for Dynamic Language Infrastructure – Documenting Endangered Languages (DLI-DEL) Fellowships program, offered in partnership with the National Science Foundation (NSF).
- Approximately $300,000 is expected to be available to fund up to five recipients.
- You may request a period of performance of no less than six and up to twelve months at a stipend of $5,000 per month. The minimum stipend is $30,000 for six months and the maximum stipend is $60,000 for twelve months.
- 2021 applicants must start their period of performance on or after May 1, 2022, but no later than September 1, 2023.
- 2022 applicants must start their period of performance on or after May 1, 2023, but no later than September 1, 2024.
- Citizenship
- U.S. citizens, whether they reside inside or outside the United States, are eligible to apply. Foreign nationals who have been living in the United States or its jurisdictions for at least the three years prior to the application deadline are also eligible. Foreign nationals who take up permanent residence outside the United States any time between the application deadline and the end of the period of performance will forfeit their eligibility to hold an award. (Leaving the U.S. on a temporary basis is permitted.)
- If you are a foreign national, you must provide documentation that a licensed notary has witnessed your United States Permanent Resident Card, which demonstrates that you are legally admitted and permitted to work to the United States, before NEH can award you a fellowship. You must submit the documentation to NEH at least 30 day prior to your proposed start date as a PDF via eGMS Reach.
- Currently enrolled students
- While applicants need not have advanced degrees, individuals currently enrolled in a degreegranting program are ineligible to apply. Applicants who have satisfied all the requirements for a degree and are awaiting its conferral are eligible for DLI-DEL Fellowships; but such applicants must include a letter from the dean of the conferring school or their department chair attesting to the applicant’s status.
- Organizations are not eligible to apply on behalf of scholars. DLI-DEL Fellowship awards may not be transferred to the applicant’s institution. If an individual recipient elects to have the fellowship paid through their institution, all NEH funds must be remitted to the individual. The institution may not take an institutional allowance.
