Sites grants will be based on independent proposals to initiate and conduct undergraduate research participation projects for a number of students appropriate to the discipline and the setting. REU supplements for individual awards are also available. The centers will emphasize interdisciplinary learning in the humanities and new kinds of collaboration among humanities scholars in other disciplines, and the public. Through this initiative, NEH seeks to provide venues for the exploration of a region's history, its people, its diverse cultural expressions, and its symbolic and physical environment. Matching funds are required and NEH requests letters of intent two weeks prior to the deadline.
