The Intrepid Museum Foundation, operating the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum in New York, was awarded a $204,666 Project Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Promotion of the Humanities Challenge Grants program (CFDA 45.130). The two-and-a-half-year grant will fund the restoration and opening of the museum's 7,000+ square-foot historic medical facility, known as "Sick Bay," as well as associated spaces including the post office, barber shop, and berthing/torpedo handling compartment. This project will complete the required infrastructure work to allow public access to this significant naval medical facility for the first time since the USS Intrepid's decommissioning, while maintaining historic integrity and ensuring visitor safety and accessibility. The grant award date is January 1, 2025, with a planned ultimate completion date of June 30, 2027.
