Applicants must submit their applications to NEH through Grants.gov. Additional application information is available online at https://www.neh.gov/divisions/education. NEH staff review all applications for eligibility, completeness, and responsiveness. The agency then conducts a peer review process for all applications that pass this initial screening. Peer reviewers are experts in their fields with knowledge and expertise relevant to the activities that the program supports. NEH instructs peer reviewers to evaluate applications according to established review criteria. Peer reviewers must comply with federal ethics rules governing conflicts of interest. NEH program officers supplement the peer reviewers' comments to address matters of fact or significant points that the peer reviewers have overlooked. They then make funding recommendations to the National Council on the Humanities. The National Council meets at least twice each year to review applications and advise the NEH Chair. By law, the Chair has the sole authority to make final funding decisions. See https://www.neh.gov/divisions/education. From 120 to 180 days. Approximately six months for applicants, and six weeks for individuals applying to participate in NEH-funded institutes and workshops. Applicants may request written reasons for rejection and reapply with revised proposal to a subsequent application deadline. If NEH has previously made an award in support of your project, you may submit an application for a new or subsequent stage of the project, which NEH will assess using the same criteria as other applications in the current competition. NEH reads and evaluates proposals based on whether the intellectual quality of the project is excellent; whether the project is well designed; and whether the project will have significant results. See E1. Review Criteria in the relevant Notice of Funding Opportunity. Awards support direct costs, including salaries, participant stipends, selection costs, travel, and supplies. Projects should engage participants in deepening the knowledge of the subjects they teach and strengthen their capacity to engage students in substantive study of the humanities. NEH does not typically support projects that deal solely with pedagogical theory or that are intended to improve writing, speaking, or thinking skills apart from a focus on specific humanities content. Not applicable. Awards are subject to inspection and audits by NEH and other federal officials.

Fiscal Year 2014 (1) The Problem of the Color Line: Atlanta Landmarks and Civil Rights History: two one-week Landmarks workshops for seventy-two school teachers will examine race reform in a contested southern past. Atlanta, destroyed in the Civil War, was rebuilt on the ashes of slavery as a New South city. The project uses several Atlanta sites as touchstones for examining memorialization of the antebellum South and Civil War, the history of the “color line,” race relations, and the Civil Rights movement in twentieth-century America. (2) America's Reconstruction: The Untold Story: A three-week institute will bring thirty k-12 teachers together from across the country to learn more about the history of the Reconstruction period and how that history has been shaped by episodes emerging from the Sea Islands of South Carolina and Georgia. (3) The Canon and Beyond: Teaching the History of Modern Design: A four week summer teaching institute designed to prepare a diverse group of college faculty to meet an increasing demand to teach courses on the topic. The Institute is organized into three thematic units whose subjects address significant components of introductory courses in modern design history, from the early 19th century through the 1970s. (4) The Materiality of Medieval Manuscripts: Interpretation through Production: A four week seminar for sixteen college and university faculty will explore understandings of medieval manuscripts and their role in medieval culture. Knowledge of medieval book production and the materiality of manuscripts has become all the more important as manuscript facsimiles are increasingly available online
