The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is inviting applications for its Archaeological and Ethnographic Field Research program aimed at funding empirical research addressing significant questions in the humanities via archaeological and ethnographic methods. The program, designated under funding opportunity number 20240925-RFW, supports eligible organizations including nonprofit entities, accredited higher education institutions, state and local governments, and federally recognized Native American tribes. Applicants may seek up to $150,000 for projects lasting between four to 36 months, with anticipated funding of approximately $800,000 per application deadline in 2024 and 2025. The awards cover direct field-related costs such as travel, staff salaries, and equipment, while the program emphasizes collaboration and the preservation of cultural knowledge. Key criteria for successful applications include robust research designs and practical methodologies. Additionally, NEH encourages engagement with local and Indigenous communities in project development. Mandatory application components must adhere to strict formatting guidelines, with specific deadlines for draft submissions and final applications. This initiative aligns with NEH's broader goals of advancing humanities work addressing contemporary societal challenges.
