The College of Letters & Science and the Institute for Research in the Humanities at the University of Wisconsin–Madison are pleased to announce a day of NEH application-writing workshops.
On Thursday, February 20, 2020, Mary Macklem, Senior Program Officer from the NEH, will be holding a series of application-writing workshops on the UW-Madison campus. These workshops, for applications for NEH fellowships and other funding, are free and open to faculty, students, and staff from UW-Madison and all other regional institutions of higher education, as well as cultural institutions (libraries, museums, etc.), public humanities groups, and independent scholars.
In the morning, the first workshop session provides an overview of NEH programs and grant opportunities. The second session focuses on writing a competitive application for peer review. In the afternoon, Mary Macklem will be available to meet with applicants in brief (15-20 minute) one-on-one meetings.*
