Are you planning to submit a proposal for a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship? Join RIO Proposal Writer Donna Axel at ONE of the brief kick-off introductions to RIO’s NEH Fellowship Peer Editing Workshop Series. From January through early April, participants will draft proposals and participate in one peer editing workshop (2-5 faculty max per group) to hone the narrative portion of their NEH Fellowship applications before the NEH April 12, 2023 deadline.

Because this is a series, in addition to this Kickoff event on January 26, we ask faculty to commit to the following:

  • Attend the February 1 NEH Fellowship Categories & Requirements 1-hour webinar
  • Meet 1 on 1 with Donna before February 18 (unless you have already met with her)
  • Prepare a draft narrative for review by committed colleagues by early to mid-March
  • Peer review 3-5 proposals
  • Attend one peer review workshop in early to mid-March (TBD by faculty)

This is a great opportunity to ask any questions you might have before beginning your draft!
