Opportunity Information: Apply for 20220502 RA
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is offering a one-time, limited competition for competitive supplement funding under its Fellowship Programs at Independent Research Institutions (FPIRI). This opportunity is specifically for current awardees who want additional funds and an extension to continue the work already approved under their existing FPIRI grant. It is not a general open competition for new projects; it functions as a continuation-style supplement with a streamlined application and review process compared with the standard FPIRI competition.
Applications for this supplement must be submitted through NEH's eGMS Reach system rather than through Grants.gov Workspace. The required submission package is focused on demonstrating continuity and feasibility, and it includes several specific components. Applicants must provide a short narrative (recommended length of two to three pages) explaining how they will continue the work outlined in the current award. Within that narrative, the program rules are firm: the institution must keep the same number of fellowship months per year that were approved in the existing grant, and the institution may not change its already-approved review process for selecting fellowship recipients. In addition to the narrative, applicants must submit a work plan covering the proposed extension period, a project budget using the Research and Related Budget (R&R) form completed in Adobe, and a separate budget justification (submitted as its own attachment rather than embedded in the R&R form). If the applicant is requesting indirect costs above the 10 percent de minimis rate, they must also include a copy of their federally negotiated indirect cost rate agreement.
NEH's review process for this limited competition is simplified. Rather than a full external peer review cycle, NEH will screen applications for eligibility, completeness, and responsiveness to the supplement requirements. The proposed activities and budget will then undergo a technical review to ensure the request aligns with program and financial rules. Based on those checks, NEH staff will make funding recommendations to the NEH Chair, who makes the final funding determination.
For applicants that are selected, NEH will issue the supplement by adding funds to the existing award and extending the current period of performance, rather than creating a brand-new award. All supplemental funds must be spent within the revised period of performance. The supplement will be governed by NEH's General Terms and Conditions for Awards to Organizations for grants and cooperative agreements issued on or after January 1, 2022. Reporting expectations remain consistent with the current award: recipients must submit an annual Federal Financial Report (SF-425) and an annual Fellowship Selection Report, and they must also submit final financial and performance reports within 120 days after the period of performance ends.
A key planning constraint is that organizations selected for a supplement may not apply to the next regular FPIRI deadline on August 10, 2022. Organizations that decide not to request a supplement, or that apply but are not selected, are still allowed to apply to the August 10, 2022 FPIRI competition with a new, full application, which would follow the standard process (submission via Grants.gov, peer review, and a site visit).
Administrative details in the notice include that this is a continuation-category grant opportunity in the humanities (CFDA 45.161) run by NEH, posted April 1, 2022, with an application deadline of May 2, 2022 (Funding Opportunity Number 20220502 RA). NEH anticipated making up to two awards under this limited competition, and it intended to complete final funding decisions by May 31, 2022. The posted award ceiling is listed as 0, which typically signals that the supplement amount is not stated as a fixed maximum in the public synopsis and may depend on availability of funds and the needs justified in the request.Apply for 20220502 RA
