Grants for Teaching and Learning Resources and Curriculum Development: Grants for Teaching and Learning Resources and Curriculum Development support projects that improve specific areas of humanities education through the development of new or revised curricula and instructional and learning materials. Projects are intended to serve as national models of excellence in humanities education. They must draw upon scholarship in the humanities and use scholars and teachers as advisers. NEH is especially interested in projects that offer solutions to problems frequently encountered by teachers in a particular field of the humanities. Projects may: * help schools, colleges, and universities develop (or revise) and implement significant humanities programs, curricula, courses, and materials for teaching and learning; * develop and apply technologies to integrate outstanding humanities scholarship into teaching and learning at all levels of K-12 and higher education; or * provide materials and tools to ensure that future teachers acquire advanced knowledge and understanding of the humanities. Support is available for two types of projects: 1. Curriculum development projects typically unite faculty within individual institutions or from cooperating schools, colleges, and universities to prepare, implement, and evaluate new or revised curricula that can serve as models for humanities teachers nationwide. These projects often involve collaboration among schools and institutions of higher education or organizations such as libraries or museums and regional and national consortia. They also allow faculty to investigate humanities subjects as pathways to instructional reform. Projects must produce specific materials and include plans for maintaining or expanding the results of the grant after the funding ends. 2. Materials development projects involve groups of teachers and scholars working collaboratively to create materials focused around a specific humanities topic. The development of the materials will have a significant impact on humanities instruction nationwide. Projects may include the preparation of sourcebooks, document collections, or teaching guides that suggest strategies for reading and interpreting specific humanities topics and texts. Such materials may use print or electronic formats, but preparation of traditional textbooks is ineligible for funding. Applicants may design, produce, and test interactive educational software and other electronic technologies. Projects involving digital materials should run on multiple platforms and should include provisions for long-term development and access.
