Opportunity Information: Apply for 20230907 AV
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), through its Division of Education Programs, offers the Dialogues on the Experiences of War grant program to support discussion-based humanities programming focused on war and military service. The core idea behind the opportunity is that reading, studying, and talking through major humanities sources (such as literature, history, philosophy, memoir, and other interpretive texts that grapple with war) can help U.S. military veterans, and the broader public, reflect more deeply on the moral, social, political, and personal questions that war raises. Rather than funding clinical services or purely commemorative events, this program is aimed at structured, facilitated dialogues anchored in humanities materials and thoughtful conversation.
The program is designed to be flexible about who participates. A discussion group can be made up entirely of veterans, or it can focus on a particular subset of veterans (for example, student veterans on a campus, or veterans living in a residential or group facility). It can also include civilians, military-affiliated participants, or a mix of veterans and non-veterans. That mix is part of the program’s intent: it supports settings where shared reading and guided discussion can build understanding across different lived experiences, while still centering the realities of military service and the experience of war.
This is a discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 20230907-AV) in the humanities funding area (CFDA 45.163). Eligible applicants cover a wide range of public and nonprofit institutions, including state, county, and local governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions when applying under the nonprofit category). In practice, this means entities such as universities and community colleges, libraries, museums, humanities councils, veteran-serving nonprofits, and local or tribal government partners may all be appropriate applicants, as long as they can organize and administer a humanities-based discussion program.
Funding for the opportunity can be up to $100,000 per award (the award ceiling), and NEH expected to make about 10 awards under this competition cycle. The opportunity was created on June 6, 2023, with an original closing date of September 7, 2023. Overall, the grant supports planning and carrying out discussion groups that use significant humanities sources to frame sustained, meaningful conversations about war and military service, with the broader goal of helping participants engage the enduring human questions these experiences bring to the surface.Apply for 20230907 AV
