Promotion of the Humanities Teaching and Learning Resources and Curriculum Development

 

Humanities Initiatives at Community Colleges and Historically Black, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, and Tribal Colleges and Universities are designed to strengthen humanities teaching and learning at these institutions. Humanities Connections Planning and Implementation Grants seek to expand the role of the humanities in undergraduate education at two- and four-year institutions by supporting innovative curricular approaches that foster productive partnerships among humanities faculty and their counterparts in the social and natural sciences and in pre-service or professional programs, in order to encourage and develop new integrative learning opportunities for students.

Humanities Initiatives at Community Colleges and at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving institutions of higher education, and Tribal Colleges and Universities provide funds for faculty study programs, institutional planning, and the acquisition of library and advanced technology resources that can assist institutions in enhancing humanities opportunities for their students and their communities, typically through strengthening the capacity of faculty to engage student or community beneficiaries in substantive study of the humanities.
