Opportunity Information: Apply for 2022NEA03LFTP
The NEA Literature Fellowships: Translation Projects, FY2023 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 2022NEA03LFTP) is a discretionary grant program from the National Endowment for the Arts (CFDA 45.024) designed to support published literary translators working on the translation of a specific work of prose, poetry, or drama into English. The central goal is to help bring high-quality international literature to English-language readers, with project selections grounded in literary excellence and merit. The NEA specifically encourages proposals that expand what is available in English, including translations of writers who are underrepresented in English-language publishing and works that have not previously been translated into English.
Eligibility for this opportunity is limited to individuals (not organizations), and the competition is described as rigorous at the national level. Applicants are expected to realistically assess whether their project and credentials will be competitive in a highly selective fellowship environment. The NEA also emphasizes its broader commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and to fostering mutual support for the diverse beliefs and values of individuals and groups, framing these values as part of the context in which the program operates.
There are important application limits and timing rules. Each individual may submit only one application for FY 2023 funding under this program. In addition, applicants may not apply for both a Translation Project under this deadline and a separate NEA Literature Fellowship (in prose or poetry) under the 2022 deadline cycle when poetry fellowships are offered. The original closing date for this Translation Projects deadline was January 12, 2022, and projects funded through this cycle may begin at any point between January 1, 2023 and January 1, 2024. Once started, the NEA-supported period of performance can last up to two years, giving translators a relatively flexible window to complete substantial literary translation work.
In terms of funding, the award ceiling listed for this opportunity is $25,000. While the listing does not specify the exact number of expected awards, the overall framing makes clear that grants are competitive and intended to support the creation of a finished translation of a particular, identified literary work rather than general translation activity or open-ended exploration.Apply for 2022NEA03LFTP
