Additional information: The NEA Research Labs program funds projects that support transdisciplinary research teams to build public knowledge about the arts and their contributions to individuals, communities, and society at large. Each Lab will conduct multiple research studies and develop a suite of products or services.
The NEA Research Labs program requires a confirmed partnership between the official applicant organization and at least one: (a) an arts organization or (b) an individual artist or culture bearer who may not be affiliated with an arts organization at the time of application. The arts partner is expected to participate substantially in the NEA Research Lab activities.
NEA awards cannot exceed 50% of the total project costs. All awards require a nonfederal cost share/match of at least 1 to 1. These cost share/matching funds may be all cash or a combination of cash and in-kind contributions and can include federally negotiated indirect costs. You may include in your Project Budget cost share/matching funds that are proposed but not yet committed at the time of the application deadline.
If a full internal competition is necessary, pre-proposals should be submitted that include: 1) A two-page project narrative briefly describing the project, its key aims/objectives, the methodologies/approaches that will be used, and how the project goals align with the goals of the program. Please see the sponsor guidelines for details about program goals and application components. 2) 1–2-page budget overview with justifications. 3) Biosketches/brief CVs for key personnel.
