Opportunity Information: Apply for 2021NEA01ORAGRANTS
The NEA Research Grants in the Arts, FY2022 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 2021NEA01ORAGRANTS; CFDA 45.024) is a discretionary grant program from the National Endowment for the Arts that supports research aligned with the NEA's five-year research agenda. The central focus is on studies that examine the value and/or impact of the arts, whether looking at specific components of the U.S. arts ecosystem on their own or exploring how the arts connect with each other and with other areas of American life. In practical terms, the program is geared toward evidence-building work that can clarify what the arts do, for whom, under what conditions, and with what kinds of outcomes.
For this particular funding track, Research Grants in the Arts provides matching or cost-share awards ranging from $10,000 to $100,000, with $100,000 listed as the award ceiling. Projects supported under this announcement may begin on or after January 1, 2022. The typical period of performance is up to two years, but projects that involve primary data collection are allowed to request up to three years, recognizing that collecting original data often requires additional time for design, recruitment, fielding, and analysis. An important restriction is that an organization cannot receive more than one NEA grant for the same project during the same period of performance, which is meant to prevent overlapping federal support for identical work.
The NEA frames its research funding through two related opportunities under the broader research agenda. The first is Research Grants in the Arts (the grant mechanism described here), which funds discrete research projects. The second is NEA Research Labs, which supports transdisciplinary research teams rooted in the social and behavioral sciences and is designed to produce empirical findings useful to both arts and non-arts sectors. NEA Research Labs are funded as matching/cost-share cooperative agreements up to $150,000. The key difference is the level of federal involvement: standard grants generally allow the awardee to carry out the proposed work with normal oversight, while cooperative agreements involve substantial involvement from the NEA in shaping direction and accomplishments. In other words, Research Grants in the Arts is the more traditional grant route, while Research Labs is structured for closer collaboration with the agency.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of public and private entities: state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions, which are listed separately). The opportunity was originally posted with a closing date of March 29, 2021, and it is administered by the National Endowment for the Arts. Overall, the program is intended for applicants who can propose credible, well-designed research that advances understanding of how the arts function and matter within communities and across broader social, economic, educational, and health-related contexts, backed by a feasible budget that meets the required match or cost share.Apply for 2021NEA01ORAGRANTS
