About this program
The National Endowment for the Humanities awarded the final grant under CFDA 45.145, Promotion of the Humanities–Reference Materials, on July 1, 1995, more than 30 years ago. This program is not currently active and has not issued new grant opportunities in the past three decades.
The program funded the development and completion of major reference works in humanities scholarship. Recent awards supported projects such as the Encyclopaedia Iranica, the Pennsylvania Sumerian Dictionary, the Shakespeare Electronic Archive Project, and the Encyclopedia of Chicago History. All five grants in the portfolio were Project Grants, indicating the program's exclusive reliance on that assistance type.
The National Endowment for the Humanities was the sole funder, obligating $715 thousand in federal dollars across five awards between 1994 and 1995. The largest award, $659 thousand seven hundred fifty dollars, supported the Encyclopaedia Iranica project. Award completion dates extended to the early 2000s, reflecting multi-year project timelines typical of comprehensive reference-work development.
No current grant opportunities are posted under this Assistance Listing. The program appears to have concluded operations in the mid-1990s and should not be considered for pursuit at this time.
