Notice of Internal Competition
Deadline Monday, September 10th at 9 am
The University of Michigan – Flint Office of Research and Sponsored Programs, in conjunction with the Research and Creative Activity Committee, would like to announce an upcoming limited submission funding opportunity competition. The National Endowment for the Humanities offers a Summer Stipend program for individual scholars in the Humanities disciplines. The program allows only one faculty member per organization to apply for funding each year. Therefore the UM – Flint Office of Research and the Research and Creative Activity Committee will hold an internal competition to select an applicant for the upcoming NEH deadline.
The Summer Stipend program provides $6,000 to individual scholars for two months of full time effort during the summer. If you’d like more information about the NEH Summer Stipend program, please follow this link to the full announcement:

If you’re interested in an opportunity to apply for this program, please prepare a one page summary describing the intellectual significance of your proposed project, your methods and work plan, your skills and competencies in the subject area, and your intended results. Be sure to include a project title at the top of the page. However, please do not include any personal identifiers on the one page summary. Instead, submit a separate coversheet with your name, department, project title, and preferred contact information. Submissions that exceed the one page summary limit, or include personal identifiers on the summary page, will not be reviewed.
Submit your coversheet and one page summary in PDF format to [email protected] no later than 9 am on Monday, September 10, 2012. The Research and Creative Activity Committee will use a blind review process to assess the submissions. The selected applicant will be notified as soon as possible.
Please contact the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs at 762-3383 if you have any questions.
