The WVU Humanities Center invites faculty and staff to attend a virtual workshop on the many funding opportunities offered by the National Endowment for the Humanities on Oct. 29 from 1-2:30 p.m. via Zoom.
The session, led by NEH senior program officer, Jennifer Serventi, will address two related questions: 1) What opportunities are available to faculty and staff, particularly for digital projects? and, 2) What kinds of strategies can you employ to take advantage of them?
She also will discuss ways that faculty and staff can participate in NEH projects and special initiatives beyond applying for an award directly from NEH. Examples of these opportunities include serving as a peer review panelist, advising documentary films or podcasts, evaluating archival collections as an advisory board member, participating in professional development opportunities, conducting research with support of a fellowship from an independent research institution and becoming involved in the work of your state humanities council.
