A grant program resulting in up to 35 subawards to provide relief to colleges and universities recovering from the coronavirus pandemic by supporting humanities initiatives that address racial equity, climate change, international relations, pandemic recovery, and strengthening democracy.

The NEH/ACLS Pandemic Relief Awards in Social Engagement (PRAISE) will support publicly-engaged humanities initiatives across the nation suffering cuts or severe constraints due to the Covid-19 pandemic that address the most pressing issues of the day – racial equity, climate crisis, America's global relations, pandemic recovery, strengthening democracy – through programs that directly engage the public or that operate within the institution to embed public interests and engagement in humanistic teaching and research.
