Archaeological and Ethnographic Field Research

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Division of Research Programs is accepting applications for the Archaeological and Ethnographic Field Research program. The purpose of this program is to provide funding to conduct empirical research in the United States or abroad in order to answer questions of importance to the humanities. While the dissemination of results through publications and other media is the ultimate expectation of these awards, the program supports field costs such as travel, accommodation, field staff and equipment, and salary replacement for the project director and collaborating scholars. • Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, accredited institutions of higher education, state and local governments, and federally recognized Native American Tribal governments. • The program supports projects that provide funding for fieldwork, data analysis, and manuscript preparation. • The award amount is up to $150,000, and the project duration is 4 to 36 months. • The application deadline is September 28, 2023.
