Assistance Listing 45.167

The National Endowment for the Humanities administers CFDA 45.167, which funded 174 Project Grants totaling $7.4 million federal dollars obligated, with the most recent award issued July 1, 2005—over two decades ago. This program is no longer active for new awards.

Recent awards reflect a diverse portfolio of humanities scholarship and education projects. Funded work has included digital educational resources and curricula (such as "The North American Midlands Web Site: Resources for Teaching and Learning American History in a Global Perspective" at $199,938, "The Virtual Humanities Lab (VHL): Networked Resources for Early Modern Italian Studies" at $178,000, and "Perspectives on Japan: Tradition and Modernity, A Resource Website for Post-Secondary Institutions" at $179,091), scholarly research in history and culture (including "History of Navajo Peacemaking" at $40,000, "Battle for the Castle: Intellectuals and Propaganda in Czechoslovakia, 1918–1945" at $40,000, and "Forgotten Crimes Against Humanity: The 1937 Haitian Massacre and Its Legacy" at $40,000), and curriculum development projects focused on underrepresented histories and communities in higher education (such as "National Great Books Project: Humanities Education for Minority and Non-Traditional Community College Students" at $146,448).

Award volume peaked in 2001–2002 (45–46 awards per year) and declined sharply through 2005, with only six awards disbursed in the final year. All 174 awards in the portfolio took the form of Project Grants; NEH was the sole funding agency.

Award magnitudes ranged from $9,500 to $200,000, with most scholarly research and curriculum work clustered in the $24,000–$40,000 range and larger digital humanities and educational resources projects typically between $100,000 and $200,000.
