Federal Funding Agencies and Initiatives
Introduction
Locating information about cooperative projects between Federal Funding Agencies was difficult, but we did find a few sources that could be helpful for the “Fables and Formulas” symposium. Examples are the press releases we found pertaining to the NEH/NSF’s 2006 joint collaboration “Documenting Endangered Languages”. This was an attempt by these two groups to work together in order to preserve the more-than 3,000 threatened languages throughout the world before they disappear forever.
The databases we used to locate sources included ones that focus on education, such as Eric. Others that we browsed included Academic Search Premier, Factiva, Periodicals Index Online, and several online sources related to Arts, and Science. Unfortunately, visiting the web pages of Federal Funding agencies such as the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Science Foundation, and National Endowment for the Humanities did not result in finding additional information about joint collaborations between these groups.
We followed a strategy of searching for sources that would be useful for scholars with varying levels of library-research experience. In particular, we went to Research Port from the University of Maryland Libraries’ online catalog, and selecting databases like the ones described above, we simply typed in as keywords NEH (OR National Endowment for the Humanities) AND NSF (OR National Science Foundation), and NEA AND NSF.
Bibliography of NEH/ NSF
National Science Foundation. “National Science Foundation, National Endowment for Humanities Award New Grants to Document Endangered Languages” Washington: US Fed News, 12 Oct. 2007.
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) announced the award of 18 institutional grants and nine fellowships in their Documenting Endangered Languages (DEL) partnership. This is the third round of their multiyear campaign to preserve records of languages threatened with extinction.
Louise, Fenner. “United States Supports Research to Document Endangered Languages” Washington, DC: All Africa, 7 Dec. 2006 (United States Department of State/All Africa Global Media via COMTEX)
The program sponsored jointly by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF), Documenting Endangered Languages, has awarded $9.4 million over the past two years to researchers and native speakers seeking to document and creates digital records of languages threatened with extinction. About half of the grants support work on American Indian languages.

Bibliography of NEA / NSF
Fowler, Charles. “Arts Education and the NEA: Does the National Science Foundation Point the Way?” Design for Arts in Education, v91, n4, Mar-Apr. 1990
This report Examines what the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) can learn about educational policy from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and lists similarities and differences between the two agencies' commitment and approach to education.
Glidden, Robert. “Perhaps the NSF Is a Model, but Perhaps Not ....” Design for Arts in Education, v91 n4, Mar-Apr 1990.
Responds to Charles Fowler's article, recommends that the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) work together to promote intellectual values in schooling. Suggests that the NEA follow the NSF in its commitment to research.
Hoffa, Harlan. “On Cross-Pollination and Bureaucratic Miscegenation”Design for Arts in Education, v91 n4, Mar-Apr 1990.
Responds to Charles Fowler's article, notes differences between art and science, and the educational efforts of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). Recommends several actions to prove NEA's commitment to education.
