Opportunity Information: Apply for 20180822 RA
The Fellowship Programs at Independent Research Institutions (FPIRI) grant opportunity, offered by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), funds institutions that run humanities fellowship programs designed to give scholars sustained time for research. The basic purpose is to support environments where fellows can focus intensively on humanities projects while benefiting from strong intellectual communities and specialized resources that may be difficult to access elsewhere. Rather than funding individual applicants directly, the program makes awards to eligible organizations that then administer fellowship competitions and select scholars through their own application processes.
FPIRI is geared toward independent research institutions and related organizations that can host and support fellows at a high level. Fellowship programs supported under this opportunity may be operated by independent centers for advanced study, as well as libraries and museums in the United States. The program also extends to American overseas research centers and American organizations with demonstrated expertise in supporting research in foreign countries, allowing fellowships to be held abroad when tied to those eligible entities. A key theme in the program design is that fellows should gain meaningful access to research materials and infrastructure, including library holdings, archives, special collections, and other relevant resources located on site or available nearby.
The fellowships supported by FPIRI are humanities fellowships with a required continuous tenure ranging from four to twelve months. Whether a fellowship is structured as residential or nonresidential, the expectation is full-time work on the approved project for the entire award period. For residential awards specifically, fellows are expected to be in residence for the full tenure, reinforcing the program emphasis on immersion in the host institution's scholarly setting and resources.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant program in the humanities (CFDA 45.161) using the grant funding instrument. Eligible applicants include various levels of government (state, county, city or township, and special district), federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status other than institutions of higher education. The opportunity listed an award ceiling of $400,000, with an original closing date of August 22, 2018, and a creation date of July 12, 2018. Overall, FPIRI is designed to strengthen humanities research by enabling institutions with distinctive collections and scholarly communities to host fellows for substantial, uninterrupted periods of research and writing.Apply for 20180822 RA
