National Endowment for the Humanities is seeking applications for its Public Humanities Projects to support projects that bring the ideas and insights of the humanities to life for general audiences.
Projects must engage humanities scholarship to analyze significant themes in disciplines such as history, literature, ethics, and art, or to address challenging issues in contemporary life.
NEH encourages projects that involve members of the public in collaboration with humanities scholars or that invite contributions from the community in the development and delivery of humanities programming.
