September 19 is the 2019 deadline for applications to the only NEH grant that specifically requires undergraduate research: the Humanities Connections Grant (there are two versions: planning and implementation). Inaugurated in 2016, the NEH Humanities Connections grants support collaborative curricular projects and programs involving different departments at the same institution. They also must “incorporate meaningful student engagement activities such as undergraduate research projects.” Now is the perfect time to begin planning an application for next year. And if you’re in the final stages of a proposal for this year, you might appreciate these insights from CURAH councilor Amy Woodbury Tease (Norwich University) about her current NEH grant: Developing an Interdisciplinary Curriculum to Foster Citizen Scholars.
