Topic: National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Grant Opportunities and Initiatives 

This workshop is an informational presentation, providing an overview of funding opportunities offered by the NEH as well as tips for preparing competitive applications. General information on several NEH programs will be included, with particular emphasis on Division of Research programs and agency-wide initiatives. In addition to humanities research, NEH also funds "those aspects of the social sciences which have humanistic content and employ humanistic methods; and the study and application of the humanities to the human environment with particular attention to reflecting our diverse heritage, traditions, and history and to the relevance of the humanities to the current conditions of national life." A question-and-answer session will be included.
