The NEH Summer Stipends program provides awards for individuals to pursue scholarly work in the humanities during the summer. Projects may contribute to scholarly knowledge in a particular discipline or to the general public's understanding of the humanities, and they may address broad topics or focused research in a single field. Recipients typically produce scholarly articles, books, archaological site reports, translations, editions, or other scholarly tools in either traditional print or electronic formats.
