NEH Mission
Because democracy demands wisdom, the National Endowment for the Humanities serves and strengthens our Republic by promoting excellence in the humanities and conveying the lessons of history to all Americans. The Endowment accomplishes this mission by providing grants for high-quality humanities projects in four funding areas: preserving and providing access to cultural resources, education, research, and public programs.

How we define “Humanities”According to the 1965 National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities Act, "The term 'humanities' includes, but is not limited to, the study of the following: language, both modern and classical; linguistics; literature; history; jurisprudence; philosophy; archaeology; comparative religion; ethics; the history, criticism and theory of the arts; those aspects of social sciences which have humanistic content and employ humanistic methods; and the study and application of the humanities to the human environment with particular attention to reflecting our diverse heritage, traditions, and history and to the relevance of the humanities to the current conditions of national life."

…meanwhile, NEH peer review happens
Some common misconceptions about peer-review The same panelist kills my application year after
year Only the elite schools are funded Panelists don’t understand my field You have to know someone at NEH to get a grant My application won’t get funded because NEH
doesn’t fund new approaches or work in my field Only senior scholars get funded It’s too early

“I didn’t get funded, now what?” Know what you are entitled to get: the “why-
not” letter with verbatim comments Receive feedback from the staff about your
application Become a panelist or reviewer Offer to read applications for your institution Resubmit the following year, but remember,
panelists will only know it’s a reapplication if you tell them and bitter words about the previous year usually distract from your argument and always take up space
