Other Agency Updates
National Endowment of the Humanities (NEH)
Updated 5/7/25We are aware of recent reports regarding the potential for cuts to grants through the National Endowment of the Humanities (NEH). Of the handful of NEH grants managed by Sponsored Research Services (SRS), we have received several notices of termination for Texas A&M University grants and are working with those principal investigators. Some NEH funding is awarded directly to fellows, so we do ask that if you have an NEH grant that is not managed by SRS and have received information, please notify your dean and SRS. We will be communicating with principal investigators as we have more information.
