scholars, or individuals with comparable research skills who do not hold
PhDs, with a maximum award of $70,000. Research grants support projects
conducted by individual U.S.-based scholars or researchers, with a maximum
award of $40,000. The primary scholar on an individual or collaborative
project must be a US citizen or green card holder, and hold a PhD.
Applications are due February 13, 2009.

NEH grants provide up to $40,000 for four to nine months of research in

topics are not restricted to regional or area studies, but must involve at

research, of which two months must be spent overseas. Scholars who are
able to begin their projects between May 2009 and May 2010 are welcome to
