Colleagues:<\/p>\n

The National Endowment for the Humanities is pleased to announce that applications for the Humanities Connections\u00a0Grant\u00a0are being accepted.<\/p>\n

BACKGROUND: \u00a0THE HUMANITIES CONNECTION NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES GRANT\u00a0PROGRAM<\/p>\n

Humanities Connections grants seek to expand the role of the humanities in the undergraduate curriculum at two- and four-year institutions, offering students in all academic fields new opportunities to develop the intellectual skills and habits of mind that the humanities cultivate. \u00a0Grant projects focus on connecting the resources and perspectives of the humanities to students’ broader educational and professional goals, regardless of their path of study. \u00a0Through this new grant program, NEH invites proposals that reflect innovative and imaginative approaches to preparing students for their roles as engaged citizens and productive professionals in a rapidly changing and interdependent world. \u00a0Grants support the development and implementation of an integrated set of courses and student engagement activities focusing on significant humanities content.<\/p>\n

A common topic, theme, or compelling issue or question must link the courses and activities. \u00a0The linked courses (a minimum of three) may fulfill general education or core curriculum requirements but could also be designed primarily\u00a0for students in a particular major or course of study. \u00a0The Humanities Connections\u00a0program gives special encouragement to projects that foster collaboration between humanities faculty and their counterparts in the social and natural sciences and pre-service or professional programs in business, engineering, health sciences, law, computer science, and other non-humanities fields.<\/p>\n

Humanities Connections projects have two core features:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. faculty from at least two separate departments or schools at a single institution must collaborate to devise new curricular arrangements; and<\/li>\n
  2. projects must include provisions for high-impact student engagement activities that relate directly to the topic(s) of the linked courses. These activities could include individual or collaborate undergraduate research projects; opportunities for civic engagement; or a structured experience with community-based, project-based, or site-based learning. Community organizations and cultural institutions can play key roles in this regard.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    AWARD AMOUNT (CEILING)<\/p>\n

    Successful applicants will receive grants up to\u00a0$100,000 USD<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
