Program Description
In recent years, the National Endowment for the Arts’ research portfolio has focused on yielding new knowledge about the value and impact of the arts. Through a new program, the National Endowment for the Arts Research Labs (NEA Research Labs), we seek to support a series of transdisciplinary research partnerships, grounded in the social and behavioral sciences, to produce and report empirical insights about the arts for the benefit of arts and non-arts sectors alike.
Each NEA Research Lab will define a research agenda, conduct a research program to implement that agenda, and prepare reports that will contribute substantively to a wider understanding of one of three areas of special interest to the National Endowment for the Arts:
1. The Arts, Health, and Social/Emotional Well-Being
2. The Arts, Creativity, Cognition, and Learning
3. The Arts, Entrepreneurship, and Innovation
