NEA Discipline Directors
Sunil Iyengar directs the Office of Research & Analysis at the National Endowment for the Arts. Since his arrival at the NEA in June 2006, the office has produced such reports as The Arts and Civic Engagement: Involved in Arts, Involved in Life (2006), Artists in the Workforce: 1990-2005 (2008), All the World's A Stage: Growth and Challenges in Nonprofit Theater (2008), and Reading on the Rise: A New Chapter in American Literacy (2009). Besides supervising all research reports, brochures, and technical notes, he is the primary author of To Read or Not To Read: A Question of National Consequence (2007), and he revised the guide How the United States Funds the Arts for its most recent edition (2007). He regularly speaks with arts groups, educators, researchers, and journalists about the results and implications of NEA research. The Office of Research & Analysis maintains the Survey of Public Participation in the Arts, America's largest periodic survey of adult involvement in arts events and activities. The nationally representative survey has been conducted five times since 1982, in partnership with the U.S. Census Bureau. In 2009 and 2010, Iyengar and his team will report summary results from the survey, along with findings on topics ranging from arts, media, and technology to arts learning. For a decade, Iyengar worked as a reporter, managing editor, and senior editor for a host of news publications covering the biomedical research, medical device, and pharmaceutical industries. He writes poetry, and his book reviews have appeared in publications such as the Washington Post, The New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, The American Scholar, The New Criterion, and Contemporary Poetry Review. Iyengar has a B.A. in English from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. National Endowment for the Arts · an independent federal agency |
