ACLS to Commence Historic Collaboration with the National Endowment for the Humanities, "Graduate Education in the Humanities: A National Convening"

American Council in Learned Societies

The American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) has won the open competition for a cooperative agreement with the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Office of Challenge Programs to lead the “Graduate Education in the Humanities: A National Convening” initiative. The NEH will provide up to $500,000 in funds to be matched by non-government third parties for a total of $1 million for this project.

ACLS and the NEH will undertake this ambitious effort at reform of graduate education together with the American Historical Association, the Modern Language Association, and the Society of Biblical Literature. At a time when many graduate programs in the humanities are experiencing cuts and reductions, this project aims to bring concrete solutions straight to faculty and administrators across the country. From 2025 to 2028, ACLS will engage decision-makers in commitments to adopt the recommended reforms and implement change.
