NEA releases FY2018

Art Works announcement

The National Endowment for the Arts’ Ofce

of Research and Analysis has released an

announcement for FY2018 NEA Research: Art

Works awards to support research that investigates

the value and/or impact of the arts, either as

individual components of the U.S. arts ecology or as

they interact with one another and/or with other

domains of American life.

NEA said that while in past years the Research

category has invited researchers to propose studies

that examine topics related to any area(s) on the

How Art Works system map using quantitative,

qualitative or mixed-methods approaches, and

relying on primary and/or secondary data for

analysis, NEA has a new research agenda for

FY2017–2021.

According to the announcement, current

research questions and topics of interest to the

NEA include projects in two areas:

• Track One—Value and Impact matching

grants range from $10,000 to $30,000 for research

projects that aim to examine the value and/or

impact of the arts in any topic area(s) by using data

and methods appropriate to the proposed research

questions.

• Track Two—Experimental and Quasi-

Experimental Designs grants range from $30,000 to

$100,000 for research projects that test the causal

or inferred-causal impact of the arts on individual

or cohort outcomes by using experimental or

quasi-experimental design methods appropriate to

the proposed research questions. This track is only

for projects relying primarily on experimental or

quasi-experimental research methods.

Eligible applicants include colleges and

universities; nonprot organizations; and state,

local, special district and Native American tribal

governments.

The deadline to apply is Oct. 10, 2017.
