Special Initiative

NEH welcomes projects that respond to NEH’s Bridging Cultures initiative. Such projects could focus on cultures internationally or within the United States. International projects might seek to enlarge Americans’ understanding of other places and times, as well as other perspectives and intellectual traditions.

American projects might explore the great variety of cultural influences on, and myriad subcultures within, American society. These projects might also investigate how Americans have approached and attempted to surmount seemingly unbridgeable cultural divides, or examine the ideals of civility and civic discourse that have informed this quest.

Applicant Eligibility

The Fellowships program accepts applications from researchers, teachers, and writers, whether they have an institutional affiliation or not.

Supplemental Information

NEH asks for professional and institutional information about the applicant and about the applicant’s reference-letter writers
