Funding for humanities research projects

Larger federal sponsors for humanities research include the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and the Fulbright Scholars Program.  In addition, a wide range of foundations, professional associations, commercial partners, and internal opportunities are also available to support humanities and interdisciplinary research projects. Among these are the Mellon Foundation, Guggenheim Foundation, and the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS). 

The Office of Foundation Relations is the first stop for connecting humanities researchers with appropriate foundations. 

Access the Explore, understand, and find funding page for self-service tools to search for project funding, as well as contact information for research development professionals available to assist in searching for applicable funding opportunities, including fellowships.
