The Collaborative Research program aims to advance humanistic knowledge by supporting teams of scholars working on a joint endeavor. NEH encourages projects that incorporate multiple points of view, pursue new avenues of inquiry in the humanities, and lead to manuscripts for print publication or to scholarly digital projects.

Collaborators may come from one or more institutions. They may propose research in a single field of study or interdisciplinary work. NEH encourages partnerships with researchers from the natural and social sciences, but projects must focus on humanistic content and employ humanistic methods. International collaboration is welcome, but scholars at U.S. institutions must contribute significantly to the project.

Proposed projects must aim to result in tangible and sustainable outcomes, such as a co-authored or multi-authored book; a themed issue of a peer-reviewed journal; a series of peer-reviewed articles; a born-digital publication; or an open-access website or other digital resource. All project outcomes must incorporate collaboration and interpretation to address significant humanities research questions.

The program includes four project categories: Planning International Collaboration, Convening, Manuscript Preparation, and Scholarly Digital Projects. The categories support different project types or stages and have different performance periods and award ceilings. Applicants must specify only one project category for support.

Note about Humanities Perspectives on Artificial Intelligence
This grant program is one of ten NEH programs that are part of NEH's Humanities Perspectives on Artificial Intelligence initiative, which is encouraging research on the ethical, legal, and societal implications of AI. To learn more about the initiative, please see our page about the AI initiative.

What's new for 2023:

Manuscript Preparation and Scholarly Digital Projects applications from community colleges or certain minority-serving institutions, or that include such an institution as a subrecipient and full partner in the conceptualization and execution of the project, may request an additional $50,000 of support (up to $300,000 for a three-year performance period). Eligible minority-serving institutions are: Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribal Colleges and Universities, Predominantly Black Institutions, Native American-Serving Non-Tribal Institutions, and Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-Serving Institutions.

The allowable period of performance for Convening applications is now six to twelve months. It is no longer necessary to pro-rate the funding request by month for Convenings.

The page limit for the Work Plan attachment has been increased from two pages to three.

You may submit an optional draft. You must use the draft template found under "Program Resources" on this page and must submit it no later than September 18, 2023, to @email. Put "Collaborative Research Draft" in the subject line of the message. NEH staff will read only one draft per project per competition deadline.
