Bridging Cultures Grant
NEH Grant Opportunity
Bridging Cultures at Community Colleges
The NEH invites proposals for projects that advance the role of the humanities at a community college through curriculum and faculty development on the theme of Bridging Cultures and expects to award five to seven grants of up to $120,000 each.
NEH Bridging Cultures at Community Colleges projects create opportunities for community college faculty members to study together while improving their capacity to teach the humanities; enhance or develop areas of need in an institution’s humanities programs; and give community college faculty access to humanities resources through partnerships with other educational or cultural institutions.
Funded projects
- draw on sound humanities scholarship related to the theme of Bridging Cultures,
- engage participating faculty in shared readings of important humanities texts,
- involve humanities scholars with appropriate expertise,
- improve the quality of humanities instruction at a community college or community college system, and
- create opportunities to disseminate their results.
The application must reflect a collaborative relationship between a community college or community college system and another institution with appropriate resources (such as a college or university, museum, research library, or professional association) in the planning and implementation of the project.
