Requirements and NEH-mandated notices for fellowship recipients:
NEH-funded fellows are expected to remain during their entire fellowship tenure period in Jordan and to work on their projects on a full-time basis. Fellowship tenure must be continuous and last at least four months.
NEH-funded fellows must be United States citizens or foreign nationals who have lived in the United States for three years immediately preceding the application deadline for the fellowship.
Fellowships, supported entirely or in part by NEH funds, are for individuals who have completed their formal professional training. Consequently, degree candidates and individuals seeking support for work in pursuit of a degree are not eligible to hold NEH-supported fellowships. Advanced degree candidates must have completed all requirements, except for the actual conferral of the degree, by the application deadline for the fellowship.
All materials publicizing or resulting from NEH-funded activities must contain an acknowledgment of NEH support. Consult the Acknowledgment and Publicity Requirements for NEH Awards and Publicizing Your Project pages for guidance to meet this requirement.
Any foreign travel must be undertaken on U.S. flag carriers, wherever such service is available. ACOR will assist in determining this when booking airline tickets.
The OMB Guidelines to Agencies on Governmentwide Debarment and Suspension (Nonprocurement) contained in 2 CFR Parts 180 and 3369 apply to this award. Fellows must comply with Subpart C of these regulations.
Projects that receive NEH funds cannot include material that is obscene, libelous, offensive, or defamatory (including hate speech, personal attacks, or material constituting harassment); including user-generated content, comments, blog posts, links and other social media.
NEH-funded fellows may not be delinquent on repayment of federal debt. Examples of relevant debt include student loans, delinquent federal taxes, delinquent child support payments, and delinquent payroll taxes for household or other employees. (See OMB Circular A-129.) By applying to this fellowship, the applicant affirms they are not delinquent on any federal debt.
NEH-funded fellows may not hold another concurrent NEH grant for the proposed research (that is, no “double-dipping”).
NEH-funded fellows must immediately notify ACOR if a permit is denied or revoked after an award has been issued, or if an unforeseen circumstance, such as a natural disaster or political turmoil, prevents (or threatens to prevent) the fellow from carrying out their project.
NEH and ACOR do not assume responsibility for fellows’ compliance with the laws and regulations of the country in which work is to be conducted.
Upon completion of tenure, fellows are asked to fill out a brief online questionnaire about their activities and accomplishments and submit it to NEH’s Division of Research Programs at securegrants.neh.gov/Misc/CentersEvaluation.aspx
Recipients are encouraged to register with the State Department’s Safe Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP).
Covid-19, coronavirus variants, and similar matters should be taken into consideration by all applicants. ACOR’s covid-19 procedures (e.g.,https://acorjordan.org/overview/) change from time-to-time depending on the caseload and regulations in Jordan, and as advised by the U.S. CDC and others. While ACOR makes diligent efforts in regard to covid-19, fellows and awardees must assume all the risks and liabilities inherent in taking up these fellowships (e.g., international travel, conducting research, working with subjects, etc.).
