Summer Stipends support projects at any stage of development.

Summer Stipends are awarded to individual scholars.

Organizations are not eligible to apply.

Summer Stipends may not be used for research for doctoral dissertations or theses by students enrolled in a degree program;

specific policy studies or educational or technical impact assessments;

the preparation or publication of textbooks;

studies of teaching methods or theories, surveys of courses and programs, or curriculum development;

inventories of collections;

works in the creative or performing arts (e.g., painting, writing fiction or poetry, dance performance, etc.);



projects that seek to promote a particular political, philosophical, religious, or ideological point of view; or

projects that advocate a particular program of social action.



Applications may address the holdings or activities of a single institution or may involve collaboration.

In all cases, projects should be designed to facilitate sharing, exchange, and interoperability of humanities information and products.
