RESEARCH: ART WORKS: Grant Program Description Background In September 2012, the NEA&apos;s Office of Research &amp; Analysis published its five-year research agenda, supported by a system map and measurement model. Titled How Art Works, the report offers a framework for studying research topics critical to a broader public understanding of the arts&apos; value and/or impact for individuals and communities. The How Art Works system map presents several different research areas, each ripe for fresh inquiry. To obtain a better understanding of each area of the map, researchers can collect and analyze data on a host of variables. Research areas include the system&apos;s core components of Arts Participation and Arts Creation; the system&apos;s inputs (Arts Infrastructure and Education &amp; Training); and the system&apos;s main outcomes, e.g., cognitive or emotional benefits to individuals, or civic or economic benefits to communities. The map is not prescriptive. It is intended primarily to communicate to potential applicants a cluster of topics and relationships that the NEA is exploring as part of its five-year research agenda.
