the Alzheimer's Disease (AD) Prevention Initiative, which
encompasses a number of
interrelated efforts including basic,
epidemiological, behavioral, and clinical research. An
iportant part
of the AD Prevention Initiative is to quicken the pace for translating
basic
science findings into clinical trials to evaluate treatment and prevention strategies. This
funding opportunity announcement (FOA)
focuses on AD pilot clinical trials while other
FOAs are targeted to AD drug discovery and development.

particular project will be focused on the Texas Gulf Coast and it’s rich history. Utilizing
the new media with an interactive web site, dvd’s, and innovative use of emerging
technologies, the project seeks to provide an excellent educational digital production
of several dvd episodes and archive of material. The context and interpretation of
factual information will engage public audiences interactively in exploring
humanities ideas and historical questions. The Association will, for example, include
plans to create a Web site, podcasts, virtual environments and tours, or others
that utilize user-generated content, virtual imaging, online scholar-led discussions,
video on demand, streaming video, or other digital components. Digital components
will be based on factual humanities scholarship and enhance the project's humanities
content for the general publicin ways that take unique advantage of the chosen technology.
The Association will then produce historical “episodes” hosted and voiced over by
local talent. These videos will be made available on our web site, youtube.com,
local television channels and distributed free to the local schools to be shown in
the class room.

The Preservation and Access Education and Training program is central
to NEH’s efforts to preserve and
establish access to cultural heritage
resources. Thousands of libraries, archives, museums, and historical
organizations across the country maintain important collections of
books and manuscripts, photographs,
sound recordings and moving images,
archaeological and ethnographic artifacts, art and material culture
collections, electronic records, and digital objects. The challenge of
preserving and making accessible such
large and diverse holdings is
enormous and the need for knowledgeable staff is significant and
ongoing.
Preservation and Access Education and Training grants help the staff of
cultural institutions, large and small,
obtain the knowledge and skills
needed to serve as effective stewards of humanities collections. Grants
also
support educational programs that prepare the next generation of
conservators and preservation
professionals, as well as projects that
introduce the staff of cultural institutions to recent improvements
in
preservation and access practices.
Preservation and Access Education and Training grants support activities such as these:
* regional preservation field services that provide a wide range of
education and training (for example,
through surveys, workshops,
consultations, reference services, and informational materials about
the
care of humanities collections), especially for staff at smaller
libraries, museums, archives, and other
organizations;
* graduate programs in preservation and conservation; and workshops that address preservation and
access topics of broad significance and impact, such as collections care training for staff members
who are responsible
for the day-to-day care and management of humanities collections;
* preventive conservation and sustainable preservation strategies;
* disaster preparedness, response, and recovery;
* the preservation of and provision of access to recorded sound and moving image collections;
* digital preservation; and
* best practices for enhancing and integrating access to collections in libraries, archives, and museums.
Preservation and Access Education and Training grants may not be used for
* programs on the care and management of collections that are the
responsibility of an agency of the
federal government or are not
regularly accessible for research, education, or public programming;
* programs about the preservation of the built or natural environment; and
* the support of either full-time or permanent faculty positions in graduate programs.
power of historic places to explore stories, ideas, and beliefs that
deepen our understanding of our lives
our world. The Division of
Public Programs supports the development of humanities content and
interactivity
that excite, inform, and stir thoughtful reflection upon
culture, identity, and history in creative and new ways.
Interpreting
America’s Historic Places projects may interpret a single historic site
or house, a series of sites,
an entire neighborhood, a town or
community, or a larger geographical region. Grants for Interpreting
America’s Historic Places should encourage dialogue, discussion, and
civic engagement, and they should
foster learning among people of all
ages. To that end, the Division of Public Programs urges applicants to
more than one format for presenting humanities ideas to the
public.
NEH offers two categories of grants for Interpreting America’s Historic Places: Planning and Implementation
Grants. This planning can
include the identification and refinement of the project’s main
humanities
ideas and questions, consultation with scholars in order to
strengthen the humanities content, preliminary
audience evaluation,
preliminary design of the proposed interpretive formats, beta testing
of digital formats,
development of complementary programming, research
at archives or sites whose resources might be
used, or the drafting of
interpretive materials.
Interpreting America’s Historic Places projects should
* interpret a place that played a significant role in American history;
* enrich the visitor experience at one or more historic places by
interpreting these places in light of broader
themes in American
history;
* make use of the specific features of one or more historic
places—the site, its location, buildings, or other
natural or built
features—as integral parts of the proposed interpretation;
* be based on sound humanities scholarship;
* involve humanities scholars in all phases of development and implementation;
* approach the subject thematically, analytically, and interpretively through an appropriate variety of
perspectives;
* interest broad audiences; and employ appealing and accessible program formats that will actively
engage the public in learning.
To ensure that the humanities ideas are well conceived, projects must
use a team of scholars who represent
major fields relevant to the
subject matter and offer diverse perspectives and approaches. Projects
may
also include other participants with experience and knowledge
appropriate to the project’s formats or
technical requirements.
The National Endowment for the Arts is committed to providing
leadership in arts education by inspiring
all young Americans through
rich arts experiences. A high quality education in the arts opens a
critical
gateway to a lifetime of appreciation and engagement. For two
reasons, learning in the arts is an
part of American
education: 1) children celebrate and participate in their cultural
inheritance, and
2) academic and social maturity follow directly from
arts education experiences.
The Learning in the Arts for Children and Youth category offers funding
for projects that help children and youth
acquire knowledge and
understanding of and skills in the arts. Projects must provide
participatory learning
and engage students with skilled artists,
teachers, and excellent art. Funded projects apply national or state
arts education standards. All projects submitted to the Learning in the
Arts category must include:
Experience: Students and their teachers will have the chance
to experience exemplary works of art -- in
live form where possible. Study: Through the guidance of teachers, teaching artists,
and cultural organizations,
students will study works of art in order
to understand the cultural and social context from which they come,
to appreciate the technical and/or aesthetic qualities of each work.
Where appropriate, study will include
the acquisition of skills
relevant to practicing the art form.
Performance: Informed by their experience and study,
students will create artwork. In the case of literature
the primary
creative activities will be writing and/or recitation.
Students will be assessed according to national
or state arts education standards. Where appropriate,
will
employ multiple forms of assessment including pre- and post-testing.
NOTE: The required Learning in the Arts components may be provided in partnership with other organizations.
The Arts Endowment strongly endorses the arts as a core academic
subject area. Organizations must
provide curriculum frameworks and
carefully designed evaluations to assess every child's progress in
achieving proficiency in the arts. In this category, the Arts Endowment
hopes to call attention to projects
that recognize and cultivate best
practices in the field of arts education for children and youth.
Learning in the Arts projects may take place in school-based or
community-based settings and should
focus on children and youth in the
general age range of 5 through 18 years.
(NOTE: Adult and
intergenerational learning is supported under Access to Artistic
Excellence.)
These guidelines divide Learning in the Arts for Children and Youth area:
Community-Based
Community-based projects are for children and youth generally between
ages 5 and 18. This area supports
important activities and training in
the arts that occur outside of the school system. Activities must occur
outside of the regular school day, and may take place in a variety of
settings. These activities may be offered
arts organizations or by
other community-based, non-arts organizations or agencies in
partnership with artists
and arts groups. While not formally linked to
schools or their instructional programs, projects must be based
on a
curriculum that ensures the application of national or state arts
education standards. Projects may include
professional development for
teachers, artists, and program providers.
