Case Western Reserve University's Baker-Nord Center Awarded Major National Endowment for the Humanities Grant The Baker-Nord Center for the Humanities at Case Western Reserve University has received a major award from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). The $650,000 NEH Challenge Grant was awarded to support research and programs that advance the humanities across the Case Western Reserve campus and in the Cleveland community. Because the NEH program is designed to help programs attract philanthropic support, the university must raise $2.6 million by December 2013 to match the NEH award at a ratio of 4:1. The Baker-Nord Center's long commitment to collaboration was key to its winning proposal, according to NEH program director Bruce Cole. "[Peer] reviewers were especially impressed with the center's strong record of collaboration with local cultural institutions," Cole said. "They found the wide range of programs to result from sound and thorough planning to involve significant issues and intellectual perspectives central to the humanities."
