The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is an independent federal agency that provides support to advance and disseminate knowledge in all of the disciplines of the humanities: history, literature, linguistics, archaeology, jurisprudence and the history, criticism and theory of the arts.

Interns would conduct research and data analysis for formal evaluations of three grant programs. Interns would assist program officers who are developing two cooperative agreements--one a national convening on the future of humanities graduate education, the other to create climate action plans at HBCUs and African American historic sites.
