National Endowment for the Humanities

Summer Seminars and Institutes
Some of these grants have previously supported foreign language 
programs. "These grants support national faculty development programs in 
the humanities for school teachers, and for college and university 
teachers. Seminars and institutes may be as short as two weeks or as 
long as six weeks. The duration of a program should allow for full and 
thorough treatment of the topic…. NEH anticipates that awards for 
seminars will range between $45,000 and $120,000 in outright funds for a 
grant period of twelve months. Awards for institutes range from $80,000 
to $200,000 in outright funds for a grant period of fifteen months." See 
the website for more details about the objectives of the grant and the 
kinds of programs supported.

Deadline for Proposals for Summer 2007: March 6, 2006
