Arts & Humanities
Agency Support, NEH
Client: Leading University
After listening to a university client’s interest in building a new educational program for their undergraduate students at the intersection of humanities and STEM, Lewis-Burke experts identified and matched their goals to a potential federal funding opportunity at the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).
Partnership Drives Our Process
Consider, Devise and Execute
Lewis-Burke follows a tailored and comprehensive approach to the development and execution of client strategies. By listening and partnering with our clients, we identify the federal trends and efforts important to the arts and humanities community. Whether funding opportunities, policy discussions, or program engagements – we make the connections necessary for our clients to win.
Trends to Watch
Arts and humanities will integrate into STEM and health fields as a priority for federal agencies. Humanities leaders have/will form new partnerships with science organizations and supported grant programs to include the arts and humanities in STEM education.
Civics Education will gain dominance, as we assess our current tumultuous political era, federal agencies have launched new initiatives on civic education, American history, and other federal opportunities for reflection on our nation’s history and future.
Digital Humanities will become a focus for federal agencies with a broadening engagement with the arts and humanities through novel and innovative methods. These initiatives will take advantage of new technology and media to bring both new engagement and audiences.
Humanities
Lewis-Burke’s coverage of the humanities focuses on several federal agencies including the National Endowment for the Humanities, National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), Institute of Museum and Library Sciences, National Science Foundation, and Department of Education. Our experts track agency developments, as well as congressional interests, to offer our clients guidance and position them for success.
Foreign Language and International Education
Foreign language training and international studies are often an important aspect of postsecondary education and preparing to participate in a globally competitive workforce. Lewis-Burke tracks foreign language and cultural education opportunities across the federal government — from the Department of Education to the Department of Defense. We guide our clients through federal and congressional engagements in support of these education pursuits.
Creative Arts
The Lewis-Burke arts and humanities team’s creative arts expertise focuses on the National Endowment for the Arts, Institute of Museum and Library Sciences, and at the intersection of arts and health through the National Institutes of Health.
