The Organization of American Historians (OAH) was awarded a $199,862 Project Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to support the continuation and expansion of core programming and member networking opportunities under the Promotion of the Humanities Public Programs federal grant program (CFDA 45.164). Through this funding, OAH will undertake activities to pivot public programming to a hybrid digital and in-person model to position the organization for post-pandemic stability and success. Key products and services to be delivered include thematic webinars, professional development meetings, online and in-person lectures, a second season of the Intervals podcast, and virtual content for the 2022 annual meeting and conference on American history. The grant will also support salaries for seven existing OAH staff members to conduct this work. Intended beneficiaries are OAH's approximately 6,000 members, including historians and educators, as well as indirectly the students of OAH members. No sub-award activities are planned.
