This grant, offered by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), supports the translation of literary works—prose, poetry, or drama—from other languages into English. It provides fellowships to published translators for projects focusing on works of literary excellence and merit. The NEA especially encourages translations that feature languages, perspectives, and writers currently underrepresented in English, alongside works not previously translated. Emphasizing diversity, equity, and inclusion, this initiative aims to foster mutual support for diverse beliefs and values. Eligible applicants are individual U.S. citizens or permanent residents who meet specific publication requirements. Applicants may submit only one application for funding, with grant amounts ranging from $10,000 to $25,000.
