NEH will review grant applications
If you are an organization seeking funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), the National Council on the Humanities will review applications and make recommendations to the NEH Chair on March 20-21, 2025. These reviews include applications for financial assistance under the National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities Act of 1965 and could affect which projects receive NEH support.
Specific program committees will consider applications
On March 20, 2025, committees for Challenge Programs, Education Programs, Digital Humanities, Preservation and Access, Public Programs, Research Programs, and the Federal/State Partnership will meet by videoconference to discuss specific grant applications and programs. If you applied to one of these program areas, your application will be considered during these committee sessions.
Meeting closed to public for confidential reviews
The National Council’s meeting will be closed to the public under sections 552b(c)(4), 552b(c)(6), and 552b(c)(9)(B) of Title 5 U.S.C. because it will include review of confidential personal, proprietary, and commercial financial information from grant applicants. This means the deliberations about applications will not be publicly viewable during the March 20-21, 2025 sessions.
