In 2018, three faculty members from the Department of Religious Studies at Indiana University Bloomington received a five-year, $1 million grant from the Henry Luce Foundation for a project entitled "Being Human."
"Being Human"
The Center for Religion and the Human
In January of 2019, the Office of the Vice Provost for Research (OVPR) created the Center for Religion and the Human (CRH) to administer the Luce grant and other initiatives in the academic study of religion. The Center for Religion and the Human supports IU-Bloomington's traditions of excellence in humanist, social-scientific, and historical scholarship.
