Subject: NEH Interpretive Research Grants
National Endowment for the Humanities
Interpretive Research Program
The Interpretive Research Program at the National Endowment
for the Humanities offers three categories of support that are
designed to promote joint research efforts in humanities
disciplines:
Collaborative Projects involve two or more scholars
undertaking research for periods of more than one year; the
Endowment is particularly interested in integrated efforts
that interpret or synthesize work on important scholarly and
intellectual issues.
An award was made recently to support "Dialogues:
Literary/Critical Exchanges Between Russian and
American Women," a project that brings together two
American and two Russian scholars to produce a
comparative study of contemporary Russian and American
women writers, incorporating representative works of
fiction, autobiography, and interpretation by authors
of both cultures.
Humanities, Science, and Technology grants support research
that brings the knowledge, methods, and perspective of the
humanities to bear on the subjects of science, technology,
and medicine.
"Race, Mental Health, and Youth in New York" is a two
year project currently supported by this category. The
grant will result in a history of the development of
mental health and social services for African American
and Hispanic youth in New York City from 1940 to 1976.
Conferences unite scholars working on related topics in
order to encourage the open exchange of ideas and thus
stimulate scholarly research.
In December of 1992, an international conference
supported by the Endowment, "The Terror in the French
Revolution," focused on the nature and genesis of the
Terror of 1793-4, its place in history, and its
significance in current historiographical debate.
