Grant Overview
Target Outcomes for Humanities Research in Washington State
The Grants Supporting Innovative Research in Humanities and Social Science program prioritizes outcomes that advance the field of humanities and related social sciences in Washington State. The Washington State Arts Commission (ArtsWA) and the University of Washington's Humanities Center are among the key state agencies and academic institutions that align with these goals. A primary objective is to support research that explores the state's diverse cultural heritage, including its indigenous communities and its role as a gateway to the Pacific Rim.
One of the target outcomes is to foster innovative research that sheds new light on Washington State's history, arts, and culture. This includes projects that examine the intersection of humanities and social sciences, such as the impact of environmental changes on local communities or the cultural significance of the state's maritime heritage. By supporting such research, the grant aims to deepen our understanding of the complex issues facing the state and to inform policies that promote the well-being of its residents.
Another key outcome is to build capacity within the humanities and social science research community in Washington State. This involves supporting individual scholars and small teams in their advanced research and creative inquiry, with a focus on projects that have the potential to make a significant contribution to their field. The grant also seeks to promote collaboration between researchers, cultural organizations, and community groups, such as the Washington State Historical Society and the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture.
The state's unique geographic features, including its rugged coastline and diverse urban centers, provide a rich backdrop for research in the humanities and social sciences. For instance, projects that explore the cultural and economic significance of the state's coastal regions or the experiences of its urban populations can provide valuable insights into the complexities of Washington State's identity.
Measuring Success in Washington State
To measure the success of the Grants Supporting Innovative Research in Humanities and Social Science program, the funder will track a range of outcomes, including the number of research projects supported, the quality and impact of the research produced, and the extent to which the research informs policy and practice in the state. The funder will also assess the degree to which the grant program contributes to building a more vibrant and diverse humanities and social science research community in Washington State.
Applicants should be aware that the funder places a high value on research that is rigorous, innovative, and relevant to the state's needs and interests. As such, proposals that demonstrate a clear understanding of the state's cultural, historical, and social context, and that offer new insights and perspectives on the issues facing Washington State, are likely to be given priority.
Priority Outcomes and Washington State's Distinctive Features
Washington State's distinctive features, including its Native American reservations, its major ports, and its thriving arts scene, provide a unique context for research in the humanities and social sciences. The grant program is particularly interested in supporting research that explores these features and sheds new light on the state's complex history, culture, and identity. By doing so, the program aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of Washington State and its place within the broader region.
For example, research on the cultural significance of the Columbia River, which forms much of the state's border with Oregon, could provide valuable insights into the state's history, economy, and ecology. Similarly, studies on the impact of the tech industry on the state's culture and economy could shed new light on the challenges and opportunities facing Washington State in the 21st century.
