Mover and Shaker in the Arts World? Help Advance the Field By Researching the Latest Topics

The National Art Education Foundation invites proposals to support research in art education that advances knowledge in the field of art education and that promulgate the goals outlined in Creating a Visual Arts Research Agenda Toward the 21st Century. Amounts up to $10,000 in FY ‘09 will be awarded to selected art educators whose proposals speciﬁcally focus on issues relating to one of the recommendations identiﬁed by NAEA’s Commission on Research in Art Education Research Agenda.

The deadline for the submission of proposals for the 2010-2011 grant cycle is October 1, 2009.

Proposals Must Include the Following:
A completed cover sheet
Name of agency or institution providing the course or program
A separate cover letter (not to exceed two pages) in which the applicant briefly describes the research proposal, how the research focuses on one of the NAEA Research Agenda's recommendations, and his/her qualifications for undertaking the research. The letter must include the applicant's home and work addresses, phone, and fax, if applicable.
A separate research proposal (not to exceed five pages) which states the nature of the problem to be investigated, identifies a research hypothesis, design, and methodology, describes the relationship of the proposed research to existing research in the ﬁeld, indicates what data are to be collected and examined, and explains the method(s) to be used in analyzing and reporting the data. This section should be 30 lines per page with one-inch margins on all sides, 8 1/2" x 11" paper, one side only. This section will be used for blind review and must not contain references to the applicant or their institution.
A separate one-page budget, outlining the amount of funds requested for the project and the manner in which they will be used and a one-page budget narrative. The budget must include details of any funding expected or possessed from other sources.
A one-page timeline of activities.
A separate comprehensive professional resume, complete with information concerning art teaching experience, research background, citations of published or unpublished writings in art education, and the names of three references who will attest to research qualifications and the ability of the applicant to complete complex and demanding tasks.
Copies of previous research, published or unpublished, may be included, but are not required.
Applicants for Research Grants that involve the use of human subjects must submit a copy of the Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval and a copy of the human subject consent form to the NAEF before any funds will be distributed. If the IRB process has been completed by the proposal deadline, include it with the proposal. Otherwise, file it with the NAEF as soon as approval is obtained.
