Promotion of the Humanities Teaching and Learning Resources and Curriculum Development

 

Teaching and Learning Resources and Curriculum Development programs enhance the teaching and study of the humanities by creating new resources, programs, and curricula. Humanities Initiatives at Colleges and Universities, Community Colleges, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, and Tribal Colleges and Universities strengthen humanities teaching and learning at these institutions. Humanities Connections fosters partnerships between humanities faculty and their counterparts in the social and natural sciences and in pre-service or professional programs. Dialogues on the Experience of War helps U.S. military veterans and others think more deeply about the issues raised by war and military service. The Spotlight on Humanities in Higher Education program supports the exploration and development of small projects that would benefit underserved populations through the teaching and study of the humanities.

NEH evaluates proposals based on whether the intellectual quality of the project is excellent; whether the project is well designed; and whether the project will have significant results. See E1.
