Inclusive Scholarship: Developing Black Studies in the United States xix Between 1988 and 1996, the foundation granted more than $600,000 to the National Council for Black Studies (NCBS) for summer institutes that provided administrative training workshops. The Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History (ASALH) received a total of $600,000. Since publication of the Huggins report in 1985, the foundation has consistently funded a core set of institutions and expanded its reach. Although each of these may have been identified as programs that offered the most promise in terms of curricular innovation and scholarly production, foundation support certainly helped to sustain them as the most prestigious programs in the country. In a draft of her report, Professor Hine wrote, “In the past, funding agencies have all too often pursued activities without consulting [the] principals subsequently affected. It would be wise for the foundation to listen to what they have to say about the future needs of the discipline.” 16 Following the submission of her report, in August 1987, the foundation convened leading figures in the field (see photo, p. xviii). A number of programs that had never received funding from Ford were invited to present proposals; however, several other programs had received funding in the past. In keeping with the recommendations in the O’Meally-Smith report, program officers Sheila Biddle, Margaret Wilkerson, and Gertrude Fraser made grants to consortiums and archives, as well as to individual programs and departments. One of Dr. Biddle’s grants provided support to Harvard’s W. E. B. Du Bois Institute as it sought to strengthen links between the African American Studies Department and the Committee on the Study of Africa. 17 The two units recently merged into the Department of African and African American Studies. The vast majority of Dr. Fraser’s grants helped to institutionalize projects at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, UCLA, and University of California, Berkeley. The foundation’s long-term commitment to its grantees assisted UC Berkeley, for example, in becoming one of the first institutions to offer the Ph.D. in African American Studies. 18
