Construction of a Center for Research and Cultural Exchange and endowment for a visiting scholar program and technology expenses.

The Institute of American Indian and Alaska Native Culture and Arts Development known as IAIA submits this matching grant to the National Endowment for the Humanities for a two fold purpose; the construction of the Center for Research and Cultural Exchange and the implementation of educational, cultural research programming through the first ever visiting tribal college scholars program as part of our Lifelong Learning Center Program and Center. IAIA requests $750,000 from the Humanities and will match that amount over four years with $2,250,000 for a total of $3,000,000. One million, five hundred thousand ($1,500,000) will be used for the construction of the Center and $1,500,000 will be invested in an endowment for the visiting scholars program.
