grant-making
operations
are conducted through four
divisions and two offices. Through grants to educational institutions
and opportunities for teachers,
the Division
of
Education
Programs is designed to strengthen sustained,
thoughtful study of the humanities at all levels of education. Through
fellowships to individual scholars and support of collaborative
projects,
the Division of Research Programs promotes significant original
research in the humanities.
In the Division of Public Programs the projects in Media,
Museums, and Historical Organizations and the Humanities Projects in
Libraries support humanities projects for the out-of-school public.
The Division of Preservation and Access makes grants for
projects that will create, preserve, and increase the availability of
resources important for re-search, education, and public programming in
the humanities.
The Office of Federal/State Partnership makes grants to citizens'
commit-tees in each state to provide support for local humanities
projects. Nonprofit institutions interested in developing new sources
of long-term support for humanities programs may seek assistance from
the Office of Challenge Grants.
General eligibility: The
endowment
supports
the
work of individual scholars and not-for-profit
institutions and organizations engaged in projects involving the
humanities. Those institutions include universities; four-year
colleges; junior and community colleges; elementary and secondary
schools; educational, cultural, professional, and community groups;
museums and historical organizations; libraries; public agencies; and
public radio and television stations. The endowment welcomes
applications for support from all such institutions and groups, from
individual US citizens with or without academic affiliation, and from
foreign nationals who have been living in the US or its territories for
at least three years at the time of application. Fields of support:
According to the act that established the endowment, the humanities
include, but are not limited to, the following fields: history,
philosophy, language, linguistics, literature, archaeology,
jurisprudence, history and criticism of the arts, ethics, comparative
religion, and those aspects of the social sciences employing historical
or philosophical approaches. This last category includes cultural
anthropology, sociology, political theory, and international relations.
Gifts-and-matching grants: An applicant may sometimes be offered a
"gifts-and -matching" grant as a supplement to an outright grant or as
the sole form of endowment support. When the endowment offers to
support a project through one of these grants, it is up to the grantee
to raise gifts from outside his or her own organization to a level
approved by the endowment. The endowment then matches this money with
federal funds, but the total sum that can be federally matched is
limited by the annual congressional appropriations for that purpose.
Challenge grants: These grants offer one federal dollar for every three
or four raised from nonfederal sources. Proposed expenditures that
support capital growth and financial stability will receive priority.
Other items that may be covered are renovation of facilities and
administrative and program costs attributable to the humanities.
Deadlines: Applicants (except fellowship applicants) should
submit preliminary descriptions of their projects to the appropriate
division at least six to eight weeks before the application deadline
for the program to which they plan to apply. Write to the office
of Public Affairs, Room 402, Natl. Endowment for the Humanities,

(Deaf and hearing-impaired persons should call 202 606-8282.) Current

SEX, RACE, AND GLOBALIZATION PROJECT AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA: The Committee on Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual
Studies at the University of Arizona offers two Rockefeller Humanities
Residency Fellowships for the academic year. The Sex, Race, and
Globalization (SRG) project explores the imbrication of sexuality,
gender, and race with economic, political, and informational processes
across local, regional, national, and transnational scales. Noting that
global movements of capital, information, and people are facilitated,
blocked, and diverted by sexual, racial, and national categories, even
as cultural formations are reshaped by globalization, we seek to
de-scribe and explain the links between exploitative economic processes
and structures of sexual, gendered, and racial inequality. Recognizing
that globalization is a transformation of prior systems of global
economic and political interaction, we welcome applications from
scholars working in or across various historical periods. While the SRG
project sustains the commitment of lesbian and gay studies to
recognizing the significance of sexuality, we seek to develop alliances
among identity and area studies fields and, therefore, welcome
applications from scholars who have not worked in the context of
lesbian and gay studies. Fellows receive a stipend of $35,000, travel
and research funds ($5,000), a moving allowance ($2,000), an office,
and full access to university libraries, computer systems, recreational
facilities, and the many scholarly and cultural programs offered across
the university. Application deadline is 1
December. For more information and application guidelines,
