NEH Summer Stipends for 2018 The Interdisciplinary Humanities Center is now accepting applications from UCSB faculty members for the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) 2017 Summer Stipend program. To be considered for a Summer Stipend, faculty members must submit all application materials by Wednesday, August 16, 2017.

Application Deadline: Wednesday, November 15, 2017 The IHC invites proposals from UCSB faculty members for funding through its Community-Engaged Participatory Pedagogy in the Arts Program.  Awards up to $4000 will be made for visual and performing art projects housed within undergraduate or graduate courses at UCSB that will take place in Winter, Spring or Fall of 2018, or Winter or Spring of 2019. 

Application Deadline: Monday, April 16, 2018 Awards will be given to ladder rank faculty to release them from teaching one quarter to concentrate on research projects. Recipients must be in residence during the fellowship term; while the award releases the recipient from teaching responsibilities, it does not exempt him or her from service and advising responsibilities. Award recipients will be designated IHC Fellows and may be asked to deliver a public lecture or hold a seminar on a topic related to their research during their tenure as fellows. The award does not provide for release from summer teaching, nor does it provide a salary supplement. It will be calculated as a replacement cost of up to $5,000 for one course, and awarded funds must be expended within twelve months of the announcement of the award. Faculty may receive this award once every five years, and must not teach during the award quarter.

Application Deadline: Monday, April 16, 2018 Awards will be made to support collaborative projects. Eligible projects include conferences at UCSB or in the Santa Barbara area; collaborative research or instructional projects by faculty in one or more departments/programs; and initiatives to bring visiting scholars and arts practitioners to campus for collaborative research or teaching (where appropriate such scholars may be appointed Visiting Fellows of the IHC).  Award amounts up to $3000.

Application Deadline: Tuesday, January 16, 2018 (For projects taking place in the next academic year) The Interdisciplinary Humanities Center offers annual awards (up to $1500) to support innovative creative projects in the visual, performing and media arts that engage with issues of interdisciplinary concern. The competition is open to UCSB faculty and graduate students. Both individual and collaborative projects are eligible.
