Division of Research ProgramsThe results of humanities research are typically communicated through the publication of books and articles. In 2001, products from previous research grants included 119 newly published books in fields ranging from anthropology and archaeology to politics and religion. In many cases, these volumes represent years of research and long-term NEH support. They assemble and interpret what we now know and understand about human history, languages, and cultures. Through the Collaborative Research program, the Endowment funds long-term research projects--including many prominent scholarly editions such as the papers of Chief Justice John Marshall or the complete journals from the Lewis and Clark expedition--and interpretive projects that explore large issues in the humanities. For example, the University of Chicago received $150,000 to support the collection and analysis of a body of Sanskrit texts written from 1550 to 1750. Sheldon Pollock heads an international team of eight scholars who hope to shed light on the nature of scholarly disciplines in India on the eve of colonial rule. The project website will make available pertinent biographies, a bibliography, and scanned manuscripts of important unpublished works in Sanskrit. The team plans to publish a book of essays on the major Sanskrit disciplines with the goal of identifying the basic structure of knowledge for the early modern period. Through Fellowship Programs at Independent Research Institutions, scholars gain access to valuable research collections, such as those of the Folger Shakespeare Library and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, or insight into foreign or ancient cultures through such organizations as the International Research and Exchanges Board. In 2001, this program supported 106 fellows at thirteen institutions in the United States and thirteen internationally-based institutions. The fellows represented thirty states and conducted research in twenty-seven countries. At the W.F. Albright Institute in Jerusalem, Benjamin A. Saidel of Harvard University studied “Tribes and States in the Southern Levant.” NEH support for the American Councils for International Education enabled Andrew Wachtel of Northwestern University to investigate the relevance of writers in post-communist Eastern Europe. Fred M. Donner of the University of Chicago was an NEH fellow at the American Center of Oriental Research in Amman, Jordan, between January and June 2001. He completed drafts of four chapters of a book for nonspecialist readers and made Arabiclanguage presentations of his research to historians at the University of Jordan and at Yarmouk University in Irbid. Collaborations with other organizations broaden the support for and the impact of humanities research. In 2001, the division evaluated applications submitted to the Library of Congress’s Kluge Fellows program. This program is open to junior scholars worldwide who wish to do research in the Library’s humanities and social sciences collections. Another partnership, with the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, a branch of the Department of Health and Human Services, resulted in jointly supported fellowships that bring humanities disciplines to bear on healthcare topics such as patient safety, disabilities, medical ethics, and the end of life. The Endowment directly funds individual research for up to a year of full-time study through three programs: Fellowships, Summer Stipends, and Faculty Research Awards for teachers at Historically Black Institutions, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, and Tribal Colleges. John M. Nieto-Phillips, of New Mexico State University, received a Faculty Research Award to complete his study of Americanization and education in Puerto Rico and New Mexico from 1890 through 1940. Jonathan Lipman of Mount Holyoke College received a summer stipend to study the history and contemporary conditions of Islam--its institutions, practice, and practitioners--in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in the northwest corner of the People’s Republic of China, a place that has been a crossroads of cultures for millennia. Lipman will combine field interviews with analysis of literature in a number of languages to explore the place of an Islamic frontier region in a complex, non-Islamic, and rapidly changing society. The results will be published as part of a comprehensive book on Xinjiang being produced by the School for International Studies at Johns Hopkins University. Sonia Ketchian will use her NEH fellowship to focus on the Russian poet Anna Akhmatova and how times of crisis affected her work. Akhmatova’s words, written during Stalin’s reign of terror, resonate for us today in times of unthinkable destruction and precarious world politics. One week after September 11, 2001, a column in the Boston Globe concluded with these lines from Akhmatova: Who knows, how empty the sky is
