NEH’s Office of Data and Evaluation (ODE) is pleased to announce the publication of a new report “Assessing the State of the Humanities.” This report shares some of the preliminary feedback provided by the humanities community about a new proposed data-grounded research grant program to be offered by ODE.
Thank you to everyone who participated in our call for comments and stakeholder conversations. Your input has been tremendously valuable in understanding the funding needs of the field, as well as possible program themes and supported activities.
Please be sure to sign up for the ODE newsletter (www.neh.gov/signup) to stay updated on the activities of the office.
