Institutional Grants for Historically Black, Hispanic-Serving, and Tribal Colleges and Universities: Institutional Grants enrich humanities education and scholarship at historically black, Hispanic-serving, and tribal colleges and universities by helping to strengthen existing institutional resources. The grants can be used to enhance the humanities content of existing programs, develop new programs, and lay the foundation for more extensive humanities endeavors in the future. Each project must be organized around a core humanities topic or set of themes. Grants from this program may: * support collaborative work among faculty members to devise ways for strengthening humanities programs; * fund visiting humanities scholars who can help to enhance or redefine an institution's humanities programs; * help institutions develop new humanities programs or take advantage of underused resources in the humanities; * train staff and faculty members in the use of humanities materials and technologies; or * enhance humanities programs by building ties between institutions of higher learning, between institutions of higher learning and secondary schools, or between institutions of higher learning and museums, libraries, or other organizations such as historical and cultural societies. Applicants are encouraged to draw on the knowledge of humanities scholars whose expertise complements that of the institution's staff. Outside scholars can inform the work of an institution's faculty team by contributing special expertise and fresh insights on the humanities. They commonly take an active part in leading discussion of the chosen texts and topics. In addition, outside scholars can also offer advice on strengthening certain aspects of a project. Applicants are also encouraged to collaborate with other institutions to share resources and expand the potential audience and reach of the project. Grant funds should not replace funds already being expended on humanities programs. Instead, they should be used to augment and improve the institution's commitment to the humanities. Funds may be used to pay the travel expenses and honoraria for guest scholars and visiting consultants, books and other materials, modest purchases of computer equipment directly related to the project, logistical support, and release time for participants. Project participants should also be remunerated for their participation.
