This grant, offered by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Division of Research Programs through its Public Scholars program, is for individual authors to conduct research, writing, and travel leading to the creation and publication of well-researched nonfiction books in the humanities. These books must be intended for a broad public audience, bridging academic rigor with public accessibility. The program encourages non-academic writers to deepen their humanities engagement by strengthening their book’s research foundation. Simultaneously, it prompts academic writers to effectively communicate the significance of their scholarly work to a wider readership, thereby expanding the reach and impact of humanities scholarship.
