Grant Frame, associate professor of Assyriology at University of Pennsylvania and associate curator of the Babylonian section at Penn Museum, was recently awarded a two-year, $245,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities for his Royal Inscriptions of the Neo-Assyrian Period (RINAP) Project. This is the fifth award the RINAP project has received. With the latest grant, Dr. Frame has received a total of $1.2 million from the NEH since 2008. Dr. Frame is the director and editor-in-chief of a team that is editing and transcribing all of the known royal inscriptions of the Neo-Assyrian Kings. The new grant will allow the completion of three volumes in addition to the four that have already been completed.
