I appreciate @rrchnm.bsky.social sharing about their terminated NEH grants like this. This is having a huge impact on important historical initiatives.
Last week we learned that 6 of our active NEH awards—totaling $789k in unspent funds—were immediately terminated by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency.This is obviously a blow, and a serious one, to our work.But we will carry on. To see our terminated grants rrchnm.org/news/carryin...
