NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES
DIVISION OF RESEARCH PROGRAMS
TRANSLATIONS PROGRAM
The Division of Research Programs of the National Endowment for
the Humanities welcomes applications for translation projects.
Translations grants support individual or collaborative projects
to translate into English works that provide insight into the
history, literature, philosophy, and artistic achievements of
other cultures. The Endowment welcomes print and electronic
publications that make available to scholars, students, teachers,
and general readers the thought and learning of both ancient and
modern civilizations.
Translations supported by the Endowment provide introductions and
explanatory annotations that clearly establish the historical and
intellectual contexts of the work.
Awards in the Translations Program are made for up to three years
and usually range from $30,000 to $150,000, depending on the
scope and magnitude of the project.
The new deadline is JULY 1, 1995, for projects beginning no
earlier than May of the next year.
For application material and further information, write or call:
