Scholarly Editions and Translations

National Endowment for the Humanities · 20260916-RQ · Deadline: September 16, 2026 · Advertised ceiling: $1M

Program-level history — this opportunity doesn't publish per-opportunity awards, so these numbers describe its parent program (CFDA 45.040, National Endowment for the Humanities: Scholarly Editions and Translations), not this competition alone. Labeled that way on purpose.

Ask-amount guidance

Applicants here typically receive far less than the advertised ceiling: the program median is $246k against a $1M ceiling (25%). Budgets far above the median need a story; budgets far below leave money on the table.
