National Endowment for the Arts Research Labs (NEA Research Labs)
Sponsor: NEAInternal Deadline: 11/30/2026Institutional Submission Limit: 1Sponsor Deadline: 04/26/2027Program Website
Through a series of awards, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) has established a national program of interdisciplinary research teams in the arts. The National Endowment for the Arts Research Labs (NEA Research Labs) program will yield empirical insights about the arts for the benefit of arts and non-arts sectors alike.
Each of the NEA Research Labs will design a research agenda, conduct a program to implement its own agenda, and prepare reports and other products that contribute new knowledge and understanding about key areas of interest to the National Endowment for the Arts. Sustained methods of inquiry into these topic areas will have distinctive benefits for the arts community, but also for sectors such as healthcare, education, and business or management. Our Labs currently work on three topic areas:
• Arts & Health
• Arts & the Economy
• Arts & Education
*** This USC announcement is based on previous calls and is a forecasted opportunity.
