The HHMI Inclusive Excellence initiative challenges U.S. colleges and universities to substantially and sustainably increase their capacity for inclusion of all students, especially those students who belong to groups underrepresented in science. Each school in the community will commit to learning through reflection, sharing what is being learned, listening to feedback, and supporting other members of the community.
IE3 community participants have multiple opportunities to learn from one another, engage in professional development activities, and explore areas of interest to support their work. This takes place through (i) annual IE community meetings at HHMI; (ii) smaller, regional gatherings of Peer Implementation Clusters (PICs); and (iii) via an online listserv for Program Directors. HHMI provides additional funds to support annual gatherings of PICS. Finally, HHMI gives grantees an opportunity each year to communicate and share their reflections on their ongoing lessons learned and where necessary, recalibrate approaches.
IE institutions have the opportunity to present their work to a network of higher education stakeholders committed to enhancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in science through national conferences and other gatherings.
Institutional Limit: 1 Proposal

The program was launched at the 2008 AAAS Annual Meeting in Boston and has since provided more than 220 workshops for over 7,000 attendees at universities, science society meetings, and government agency labs in the US and abroad. We are excited about bringing the Workshop to Auburn University for faculty in all disciplines.

Digital Humanities Advancement Grants (DHAG) support digital projects at different stages throughout their lifecycles, from early start-up phases through implementation and sustainability. Experimentation, reuse, and extensibility are hallmarks of this program, leading to innovative work that can scale to enhance scholarly research, teaching, and public programming in the humanities.
Proposals are welcome for digital initiatives in any area of the humanities.
Through a special partnership with NEH and pending the availability of appropriated funds, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) anticipates providing additional funding to this program to encourage innovative collaborations between museum or library professionals and humanities professionals to advance preservation of, access to, use of, and engagement with digital collections and services. IMLS and NEH may jointly fund some DHAG projects that involve collaborations with museums and/or libraries.
Digital Humanities Advancement Grants may involve
- creating or enhancing experimental, computationally-based methods, techniques, or
infrastructure that contribute to the humanities;
- pursuing scholarship that examines the history, criticism, and philosophy of digital culture and its impact on society; or
- conducting evaluative studies that investigate the practices and the impact of digital scholarship on research, pedagogy, scholarly communication, and public engagement.
Application Due – June 19, 2019
