Today the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) announced $29 million in grant awards and offers for 184 high quality humanities projects. New funding supports a wide variety of projects nationwide, including professional development opportunities for educators at all levels, advancement of humanities disciplines through the use of technology, and collaboration between U.S. and U.K. scholars related to the development of digital humanities projects. Additionally, NEH awarded grants for media, library, and museum programming for public audiences at local, national, and historic sites, programming offered by state humanities councils, as well as Challenge Grants that support humanities activities that examine American history.
“The NEH grants announced today will bring the humanities to homes, communities, and classrooms across the United States,” said NEH Chairman Jim Leach. “From documentaries that will air on public television stations, or exhibits and programming at local libraries and museums, to the continuing education of our nation’s teachers and development of digital tools for use by scholars and citizens alike, these creative projects will help Americans better understand the ability of the humanities to enrich our lives.”
