by Betty Merchant
Thank you, Diana, for your extraordinary commitment to the ELPS Department and to the COEHD over these many years!
We, who have worked with you, have witnessed, first-hand, how hard you have worked in behalf of the faculty and students, how responsive you’ve been to administrators, and how very helpful you have been to other staff members. You’ve ensured that things are taken care of in a timely and accurate manner. Most importantly, your genuine kindness to all of us, your selflessness, endless patience, good humor, cheerful and positive attitude—even when presented with outrageous timelines—is unparalleled!
We will miss you terribly, but we congratulate you on your new position in the UTSA Strategic Enrollments Office—they are incredibly fortunate to be working with you.
Continued best wishes in all your endeavors and take care,
Betty

MAS Teachers Academy: Registration is now open!
by COEHD Communications
[cid:05ab919e-6183-4b05-9e13-8eb48aae19f4]
REGISTRATION IS OPEN for this year’s MAS Teachers’ Academy which will take place virtually the week of June 17 thru June 21st!
As you may know, the academy was created by UTSA MAS faculty in 2014 as part of the statewide movement to bring MAS to Texas Prek-12 public schools. The only academy of its kind in the state, the MAS Teachers' Academy is a scholar-teacher-community powered effort that provides educators with foundational content and curricular support to teach MAS in our schools. The academy also introduces teachers to Chicanx Studies pedagogies and teaching/learning approaches that speak to MAS' commitment to student academic success, community empowerment, and social change.
This year’s theme of “Floricanto” will highlight children’s and young adult literature, poetry, storytelling, teatro, performance, and other creative expressions as humanizing pedagogies and will focus on:
- Celebrating heritage and cultivating social consciousness
- Recovering lost histories, preserving ancestral knowledge and storytelling, and inspiring social justice
- Engendering self-reflection (dialogue with the heart) with students as a way of deepening knowledge of the self in relation to community, the world and all our relations
- Cultivating a sense of belonging and sacred purpose
- Creating spaces of collective joy, imagination, and beauty as "creation resistance" to borrow from Dr. Roberto "Cintli" Rodriguez
You don’t need to be a MAS teacher to attend! All teachers are welcome. We’re excited to have an outstanding line-up of Chicanx Studies scholars who will share their scholarship, and primary and secondary education teachers who will facilitate curricular workshops and share TEKS-aligned lesson plans that center literacy, language, history, and culture. Please use the QR code on the flyer to register or the link below: https://tinyurl.com/MASTARegistration2024
Registration for teachers: $127
Registration for pre-service teachers and community members: $50
You may also contact Dr. Lilliana P. Saldaña at lilliana.saldana(a)utsa.edu<mailto:lilliana.saldana@utsa.edu> or Dr. Gloria V. Gonzáles, gloria.gonzales(a)utsa.edu<mailto:gloria.gonzales@utsa.edu>, co-directors of the academy, if you have any questions.

Slides<https://arnoldventures.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9ad50842ca78af5...> and a video from a recent webinar<https://arnoldventures.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9ad50842ca78af5...> on these requests for proposals (RFPs) are now available. Applicants may submit three-page letters of interest (LOIs) through our portal<https://arnoldventures.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9ad50842ca78af5...>.
Note: LOIs are due June 1, 2024, for the QED RFP, but will be accepted at any time for the RCT RFP.
The Criminal Justice team has released a RFP titled “Causal Research on Community Safety and the Criminal Justice System<https://arnoldventures.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9ad50842ca78af5...>.” The RFP seeks research proposals across all issues related to the criminal justice system and will remain open.
View our RFPs here<https://arnoldventures.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9ad50842ca78af5...>>
Building Evidence: Support for Causal Studies to Evaluate Social Programs and Policies
https://d8c215k7er2js.cloudfront.net/uploads/PDFs/AVEE_BuildingEvidenceRF... <direct link>
This funding targets research on the causal effects of policies, programs, or interventions in key Arnold Ventures policy areas. Researchers are encouraged to use quasi-experimental methods, such as natural experiments, regression discontinuity, difference-in-differences, and instrumental variable designs.
Key Policy Areas
* Higher Education: Focus on improving student success and addressing equity gaps. Projects should build evidence on effective practices for student learning, persistence, degree completion, job placement, earnings, and debt reduction.
* Infrastructure: Support research and policy development to enhance U.S. infrastructure building, including housing, transportation, climate, and clean energy. Projects should address challenges like supply-side bottlenecks, permitting processes, and state capacity improvement.
* Contraceptive Choice and Access: Evaluate policies affecting contraceptive access and affordability. Projects should identify barriers to care and focus on contraceptive coverage standards, payment reform, healthcare staffing, delivery channel expansion, and Medicaid.
* Public Finance: Advance tax and budget policies that promote fiscal stability and economic opportunity. Projects should explore place-based policies and assess how tax and benefit policies improve lives.
Selection Criteria
Research should be relevant, rigorous, and capable of informing policy decisions to improve the lives of American communities. Proposals should address policy relevance, study design, and implementation feasibility.
Strengthening Evidence: Support for RCTs to Evaluate Social Programs and Policies
https://d8c215k7er2js.cloudfront.net/uploads/PDFs/AVEE_StrengtheningEvide... <direct link>
The Evidence and Evaluation team is dedicated to identifying, evaluating, and scaling solutions for critical social issues. This funding targets rigorous randomized controlled trials (RCTs), considered one of the strongest methods for evaluating social programs. RCTs compare outcomes between a treatment group and a control group, providing clear evidence on a program’s effectiveness. This solid evidence is crucial for decision-makers and stakeholders to support effective policies and programs.
Key Focus Areas
Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs): Funded studies should utilize RCTs to evaluate the impact of social policies and programs. RCTs are ideal for determining the true efficacy of interventions by ensuring fair comparisons between groups.
Selection Criteria
Research should be relevant, rigorous, and capable of informing policy decisions to improve the lives of American communities. Proposals should address policy relevance, study design, and implementation feasibility. The team seeks studies that can ultimately inform decisions and improve outcomes for kids and families. Interested researchers should submit a letter of interest (LOI) addressing these criteria.
Causal Research on Community Safety and the Criminal Justice System (This is included because several COEDH faculty work in the intersection of education and criminal justice.)
https://d8c215k7er2js.cloudfront.net/uploads/Causal-Research-on-Community... <direct link>
The Criminal Justice Initiative (CJI) invites letters of interest for causal research projects on policies, practices, and interventions related to community safety and the criminal justice system. This RFP aims to build credible evidence on effective measures to improve crime and justice outcomes, with a focus on real-world behaviors such as crime rates and criminal justice involvement.
Eligibility Criteria:
* Strong Causal Research Design: Proposals must use reliable methods to isolate the treatment effect of a policy, practice, or intervention. Accepted designs include difference-in-differences, regression discontinuity, instrumental variable, and randomization.
* U.S.-Based Interventions: The tested policy, practice, or intervention must be implemented in the United States.
* Real-World Outcome Measures: Outcomes should include measures of real-world behaviors, not controlled lab settings or perceptions.
Prioritization Criteria:
* Policy Adoption Potential: Focus on interventions with clear paths to federal or state policy adoption or implementation.
* Use of Administrative Data: Prefer projects measuring outcomes using existing administrative data.
* New and Early-Career Researchers: Preference for researchers new to Arnold Ventures funding or early-career researchers (PhD within the last six years).
Budget and Project Scope:
* Typical Budget and Duration: Projects generally have a 3-4 year period of performance with a median budget of $500,000.
* Flexible Funding: Budgets depend on data acquisition complexity, number of study sites, and study timeline.
Application Process:
Interested researchers should submit a three-page letter of interest addressing the eligibility and prioritization criteria. Favorably reviewed letters will receive an invitation to submit a full proposal. Check out the list of recently-passed crime/criminal justice policies for research ideas https://craftmediabucket.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/CJI-Policy-List_Final-V... .

NEH Digital Humanities Advancement Grants
https://www.neh.gov/grants/odh/digital-humanities-advancement-grants
The Digital Humanities Advancement Grants program (DHAG) supports innovative, experimental, and/or computationally challenging digital projects, leading to work that can scale to enhance scholarly research, teaching, and public programming in the humanities.
The DHAG program supports projects at different phases of their lifecycles that respond to one or more of these programmatic priorities:
* research and refinement of innovative, experimental, or computationally challenging methods and techniques
* enhancement or design of digital infrastructure that contributes to and supports the humanities, such as open-source code, tools, or platforms
* evaluative studies that investigate the practices and the impact of digital scholarship on research, pedagogy, scholarly communication, and public engagement
DHAG is one of many grant programs at the NEH that funds digital humanities projects. Please consult these resources to help find the right program to support your work.
In support of its efforts to advance national information infrastructures in libraries and archives, and subject to the availability of funds and agency discretion, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) anticipates providing funding through this program. These funds may support DHAG projects that further the IMLS mission to advance, support, and empower America’s libraries, archives, museums, and related organizations. IMLS funding supports innovative collaborations between library and archives professionals, humanities professionals, information scientists, and relevant public communities that advance the preservation of, access to, and public engagement with, digital collections and services. IMLS encourages DHAG applicants to work in collaboration, and employ the expertise of, library and archives staff at your institution or across the country to strengthen knowledge networks, empower community learning, foster civic cohesion, advance research, and support the traditionally underserved.
What’s New for 2024
* Prospective applicants seeking expedited program officer feedback about the fit of their project to the DHAG program are invited to submit a brief inquiry.
* Applicants at all three funding levels may request funding for sustaining, revitalizing, or recovering digital projects.
* Level III applicants may request up to $100,000 in matching funds.
Reminders:
* Applications will be declared ineligible for review if they do not include all required sections and components (e.g., Budget form with a Budget Justification, Biographies and not CVs).
* Applications will be declared ineligible for review if they do not comply with all requirements indicated with a “must” outlined in the NOFO, including page limits.
* Two or more applications for federal funding and/or approved federal award budgets are not permitted to include overlapping project costs.
We no longer accept letters of support. Any letters submitted by individuals not participating in the project will be removed from the application.

The program email address has changed from humanitiesconnections(a)neh.gov to hc(a)neh.gov.
The Humanities Connections program seeks to expand the role of the humanities in undergraduate education at two- and four-year institutions by encouraging partnerships between humanities faculty and their counterparts in other areas of study. Awards support the planning or implementation of curricular projects connecting the humanities to the physical and natural sciences; pre-service or professional programs, including law and business; computer science, data science, and other technology-driven fields; or other non-humanities departments or schools. Projects must incorporate the approaches and learning activities of both the humanities and the non-humanities disciplines involved.
Competitive Humanities Connections proposals will demonstrate:
* how the proposed project expands the role of the humanities in the undergraduate curriculum at the applicant institution(s)
* substantive and purposeful integration of the subject matter, approaches, and learning activities of two or more disciplines (with a minimum of one in and one outside of the humanities)
* collaboration between faculty from two or more departments or schools (with a minimum of one in and one outside of the humanities)
* a curricular structure that your institution could sustain over the long term, including interdisciplinary minors or certificates; curricular pathways such as concentrations within majors or general education programs; and other models appropriate to the institution

NEH Public Humanities Projects
https://www.neh.gov/grants/public/public-humanities-projects
The Public Humanities Projects program supports projects that bring the ideas of the humanities to life for general audiences through public programming. Projects must engage humanities scholarship to analyze significant themes in disciplines such as history, literature, ethics, and art history. Awards support projects that are intended to reach broad and diverse public audiences in non-classroom settings in the United States. Projects should engage with ideas that are accessible to the general public and employ appealing interpretive formats.
Public Humanities Projects supports projects in three categories (Exhibitions, Historic Places, and Humanities Discussions), and at two funding levels (Planning and Implementation). Proposed projects may include complementary components: for example, a museum exhibition might be accompanied by a website or mobile app.
Projects may be international, national, regional, or local in focus and should reach a broad public audience. We welcome projects tailored to particular groups, such as families, youth (including K-12 students in informal educational settings), underserved communities, and veterans.
Small and mid-sized organizations are encouraged to apply if their projects address topics of regional or national relevance by drawing connections to broad themes or historical questions. Projects that don’t address issues of concern to wider regional or national audiences should consider applying to Public Impact Projects at Smaller Organizations or local sources of funding, such as their state humanities councils. Award amounts offered to successful applicants will reflect the project’s scope and the size of its expected audiences.

https://www.neh.gov/grants/education/dialogues-the-experience-war
Updated guidelines will be posted in advance of the next deadline. In the meantime, please use these guidelines to get a sense of what is involved in assembling an application.
The Dialogues on the Experience of War program supports the study and discussion of humanities sources that address the experiences of military service and war from a wide variety of perspectives. In recognition of the importance of the humanities in helping Americans to understand the meaning and experiences of military service and war, Dialogues projects encourage veterans and nonveterans to reflect collectively on such topics as civic engagement, veteran identity, the legacies of war, service, and homecoming. Project teams should include humanities scholars, military veterans, and individuals with relevant experience.
Dialogues projects may take a wide variety of forms, including:
* Bridge programs for veterans seeking to further or resume their education
* Community discussion series hosted by veterans’ organizations or cultural institutions such as museums or theaters
* Undergraduate or graduate courses that train students to lead discussions on campus or in the local community
* Seminars for members of the public
* Reading and discussion programs for veterans and others in the justice system or in group housing
* Discussion series focused on local historical collections, memorial sites, film series, or exhibitions
Dialogues projects must include:
Discussion programs: The convening (in person or virtual) of at least two sustained discussion series focused on humanities resources and themes that address the experiences of war and military service and that explore at least two different conflicts in depth. Dialogues discussion groups may comprise military veterans only (including subsets of veterans such as students or residents of a group facility); or any mix of nonveterans, veterans, and military-affiliated persons, and interested members of the public.
Preparatory programs: The creation of an in person or virtual preparatory program to recruit and train a cohort of individuals, and then to select and mentor some or all of them to serve as facilitators for the discussion programs.

NEH Climate Smart Humanities Organizations
https://www.neh.gov/program/climate-smart-humanities-organizations-0
As energy costs rise and natural disasters become more frequent, humanities organizations - such as museums, libraries, archives, historic sites, and colleges and universities - face an enormous task: to anticipate operational, physical, and financial impacts of climate-related events on their institutions, while also reducing their own impact on the environment. Climate Smart Humanities Organizations supports these efforts by offering federal matching funds for comprehensive organizational assessments that lead to strategic climate action and adaptation plans.
Through the Climate Smart program, your humanities organization can undertake activities such as energy audits, risk assessments, and meetings with consultants. The resulting climate smart plan helps you establish goals and prioritize actions that reduce your organization’s impacts on the environment through mitigation and vulnerability from extreme events through adaptation. Together, mitigation and adaptation can inform a robust road map that addresses climate challenges, protects assets, and facilitates collaboration between internal and external stakeholders. Strategic planning for climate change is an essential part of sustaining humanities organizations’ operations and activities—becoming climate smart.
Individual organizations can apply for themselves or lead a consortium of organizations collaborating on strategic climate smart planning.
Awards in this program are made with federal matching funds and require fundraising of third-party, non-federal gifts at a ratio of one to one.
Grant Snapshot
Maximum award amount $300,000
Matching required: Yes, 1:1 non-federal, third-party gifts must be raised by March 31, 2025

NEH Institutes for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities
https://www.neh.gov/grants/odh/institutes-advanced-topics-in-the-digital-...
Updated guidelines will be posted in advance of the next deadline. In the meantime, please use these guidelines to get a sense of what is involved in assembling an application.
The Institutes for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities (IATDH) program supports national or regional (multistate) training programs for scholars, humanities professionals, and advanced graduate students to broaden and extend their knowledge of digital humanities. Through this program, NEH seeks to increase the number of humanities scholars and practitioners using digital technology in their research and to broadly disseminate knowledge about advanced technology tools and methodologies relevant to the humanities.
This program aims to bring together humanities scholars, advanced graduate students, librarians, archivists, museum staff, computer scientists, information specialists, and others to learn about new tools, approaches, and technologies, and to foster relationships for future collaborations in the humanities. NEH encourages you to develop proposals for multidisciplinary teams that include the necessary range of intellectual, technical, and practical expertise. You may draw partners and collaborators from the private and public sectors and may include appropriate specialists from within and outside the United States. You should consider not only the practical applications of the institute topic, but also address ethical implications of its subject for humanities research, teaching, or public programming.
There is wide latitude in the form and content of institutes. They may focus on a particular computational method, such as network or spatial analysis, or target the needs of a particular humanities discipline or audience. You could offer it only once or multiple times to different audiences or cohorts. They may be as short as a few days or as long as six weeks. You may host it at a single site, multiples sites, or virtually, but the format and duration should allow for full and thorough treatment of the topic and be appropriate for the intended audience and all participants must be engaged in the same format simultaneously unless modifications are needed for accessibility accommodations.
