Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad--Summer 2025

ED Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad--Bilateral Projects. CFDA # 84.018. Applications will open in Fall 2024 - exact dates to be announced.

Exciting opportunities for the faculty, administrators, librarians, and staff at UNLV. See flyers below for the Summer 2025  Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad programs, which offer both K-12 and postsecondary options. This year’s postsecondary program will take participants to Greece and Turkey, where they will explore the historical and contemporary contexts that shape the connections between these two nations.

These prestigious programs select 16 participants for each seminar, lasting four weeks each summer. The award covers round-trip airfare, room and board, and program-related travel within the host country. Many past participants have described their experiences as transformative and life changing. In the last competition, they received only 30 applicants for the postsecondary program, and 16 were awarded this incredible opportunity.

NSF HRD Alliances for Graduate Education

NSF HRD Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP), NSF 21-576. CFDA #47.076. $400,000 to $4,400,000. Preliminary Proposal Deadline (required for ITA Track only): 02/11/2025 and Full Proposal Deadline: 03/25/2025.

Through this solicitation, the NSF seeks to build on prior AGEP work, and other research and literature concerning racial and ethnic equity, in order to address the AGEP program goal to increase the number of historically underrepresented minority faculty in STEM. Furthering the AGEP goal requires advancing knowledge about new academic STEM career pathway models, and about evidence-based systemic or institutional change initiatives to promote equity and the professional advancement of the AGEP populations who are pursuing, entering and continuing in non-tenure and tenure-track STEM faculty positions.

Improving equity and inclusion is critical to advancing STEM faculty, educating America’s future STEM workforce, fostering individual opportunity and contributing to a thriving U.S. economy. The NSF AGEP program, therefore, seeks to fund grants that advance and enhance the systemic factors that support equity and inclusion and, consequently, mitigate the systemic inequities in the academic profession and workplace. The AGEP program goal to increase the number of historically underrepresented minority faculty is bolstered by the National Science Board’s Vision 2030: Vision for the Future.

All AGEP Alliances are expected to engage similar institutions of higher education (IHE) to work collaboratively and use intersectional approaches in the design, implementation, and evaluation of systemic change strategies. The collaborating IHEs must be similar to each other based on such variables as Carnegie classification, geographic location and student and/or faculty demographic characteristics.

This solicitation includes three funding tracks that all support the AGEP program goal. All tracks require collaborative IHE teams to use an intersectional lens as they address systemic and institutional change strategies at IHEs to promote equity for AGEP populations.

• AGEP Institutional Transformation Alliance (ITA) track
• AGEP Faculty Career Pathways Alliance Model (FC-PAM) track
• AGEP Catalyst Alliance (ACA) track

NEH Public Scholars

NEH Public Scholars, #20241127-FZ. CFDA #45.160. Up to $60,000. Application Deadline: 08/06/2025.

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Division of Research Programs is accepting applications for the Public Scholars program. The program offers grants to individual authors for research, writing, travel, and other activities leading to the creation and publication of well-researched nonfiction books in the humanities written for the broad public. It encourages nonacademic writers to deepen their engagement with the humanities by strengthening the research underlying their books, and it encourages academic writers in the humanities to communicate the significance of their research to the broadest possible range of readers.

Successful applicants will receive a stipend of $5,000 per full-time month; the maximum award is $60,000 for a twelve-month period. You may work on your project part time or full time (or combine periods of part-time and full-time work). NEH will reduce awards to reflect the smaller time commitment when recipients work part time or for less than twelve months. The minimum award is $30,000, requiring a commitment to six months of full-time work or the equivalent. NEH anticipates approximately $1,500,000 to fund approximately 25 recipients per deadline. NEH will award successful applicants outright funds, which are not contingent on additional funding from other sources.
