Academic Research from an International Perspective
- 1. RESEARCH Academic Research Funding from an International Perspective Brett Bobley Office of Digital Humanities NEH
- 2. Academic Research • Within any state in the US, universities are often loci not only of cultural and intellectual capital, but also of innovation, new industries, and job creation. • One of the principle drivers of university excellence is embodied in their research portfolio: Great universities have great faculty doing great research.
- 3. What Does “Research” Mean? • In other countries we work with, “research” refers to all academic research, regardless of discipline. (Think Wissenschaft). • Federal research funding in these countries recognizes the holistic nature of research – that it crosses disciplinary boundaries. • But nations take differing approaches for how to fund that research.

- 9. In the humanities, we often compare ourselves to scientific disciplines by looking strictly at funding allocations. Like the following:
- 10. NIH vs. NSF vs. NEH Budget NIH NSF NEH
- 11. Or like this:
- 12. NIH vs. NSF vs. NEH Budget $35,000,000,000.00 $30,000,000,000.00 $25,000,000,000.00 $20,000,000,000.00 Series1 $15,000,000,000.00 $10,000,000,000.00 $5,000,000,000.00 $0.00 NIH NSF NEH
- 13. But dollars aren’t the only metric. Looking holistically, you can’t have top-notch research without the humanities. It is a major part of the research landscape.
