Since 1978 the EAIA has made over 100 research grants to support original research, publication, and exhibitions related to their mission. For more than a decade a week-long program of workshops have taken place in cooperation with Eastfield Village, East Nassau, New York, at which participants are introduced to a number of traditional trades.[citation needed] There is also an annual "Tool Tour" to Europe focused on museums, sites, and collections related to the history of the mechanical arts.[citation needed]
