Research Awards guidelines are now available with a deadline of March 24, 2025. Research Awards are distributed in two categories: Research Grants in the Arts fund research studies that investigate the value and/or impact of the arts, either as individual components of the U.S. arts ecosystem or as they interact with each other and/or with other domains of American life; and NEA Research Labs projects that support transdisciplinary research teams grounded in the social and behavioral sciences, yielding empirical insights about the arts for the benefit of arts and non-arts sectors alike.
Prospective applicants can register here for the info session on February 4, 2025, from 2–3 p.m. ET.
*Note: Applicants to GAP or Challenge America are eligible to apply for Research awards as well.
