The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) has recently unveiled the grant opportunity numbered 20240201-HBI, specifically designed to bolster humanities research at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs). This initiative, titled “Awards for Faculty Institutional Support HBCUs and TCUs,” falls under the category of Arts and aims to enhance the academic environment in these institutions. With an expected allocation of three awards and a total funding amount of $90,000, the grant seeks to provide significant support to public and state-controlled, as well as private higher education institutions that qualify.
Emphasizing the importance of humanities research, the 20240201-HBI grant opportunity offers a maximum award of $30,000 and is open for applications until May 1, 2024. The program is tailored to institutions with faculty or staff members who have been granted an NEH Awards for Faculty fellowship in the 2024 fiscal year.

The NEH will provide funding at a fixed rate of $2,500 per month, with the amount pro-rated based on the NEH fellow’s period of performance and regular institutional load. This strategic funding initiative underscores NEH’s commitment to promoting humanities research across diverse educational settings.
