Arts and Humanities Institute operations began in FY 2011, following several years of consultation between university faculty, the President, and Vice President for Research and Economic Development. The faculty task force sought to create an office that would (a) support the research and creative activity of Boise State University faculty and students, and (b) contribute to the building of more effective collaborations between the university and the community. The VPR agreed to fund faculty fellows in the Arts and Humanities to initiate the programming. In spring 2012, the State Board approved the AHI. As the initial faculty fellowship program concluded, AHI has established and developed a suite of programs including small grants; faculty flexible workspace grants; interdisciplinary research communities; affiliated programs; public events and exhibitions; program support and advocacy; summer workshops; and curricular initiatives including the ISLE program.
