Opportunity Summary:
Research Art Works (Funding Opportunity Number 2014NEAORA) is a discretionary grant program offered by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) through its Office of Research and Analysis. The program is designed to fund research projects that examine the value and/or impact of the arts in the United States. Supported studies can focus on the arts as standalone parts of the broader U.S. arts ecosystem, or they can explore how the arts connect with each other and interact with other areas of American life. In practical terms, this means the NEA is looking for research that can generate credible evidence about what the arts do, for whom, under what conditions, and with what kinds of outcomes, whether those outcomes are cultural, social, educational, economic, civic, health-related, or otherwise tied to public life.
Awards are made as grants under CFDA 45.024 (Promotion of the Arts - Grants to Organizations and Individuals). The opportunity anticipates making about 25 awards, with grant sizes ranging from a floor of $10,000 to a ceiling of $30,000. A key feature of this program is that it requires cost sharing or matching, meaning the applicant must contribute non-federal resources toward the total project cost in addition to the NEA funds. The announcement indicates that NEA support for funded projects may begin on May 1, 2014, or any time after that date, giving awardees flexibility in scheduling the official start of their work once funded.
Eligibility is broad and includes many organization types involved in public service, education, and arts or research activity. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in that specific category), private and public/state-controlled institutions of higher education, state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. This range of eligible entities suggests the NEA intends the program to support research that can be carried out in academic settings, nonprofit research and arts organizations, schools, and government or tribal entities that may have access to relevant populations, administrative data, arts programming, or policy questions.
The application timeline for this particular cycle was tied to a single deadline. The opportunity was posted and created on August 14, 2013, with an application due date of November 5, 2013. Applications had to be successfully submitted through Grants.gov and show as validated and accepted by the system no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The listing was archived on December 5, 2013, indicating it was a time-limited competition rather than an open rolling submission program. Additional guidance was provided through an application guidelines link titled "Research Art Works Application Guidelines," and applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically were directed to contact the NEA Web Manager for assistance.
