Deadline: 9 August 2017
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is seeking applications for its funding program entitled “Media Projects” in order to support film, television, and radio projects that engage general audiences with humanities ideas in creative and appealing ways.
All projects must be grounded in humanities scholarship in disciplines such as history, art history, film studies, literature, drama, religious studies, philosophy, or anthropology.
The Division of Public Programs also encourages film and television projects that examine international themes and subjects in the humanities, in order to spark Americans’ engagement with the broader world beyond the United States.
Grant Categories
- Development Grants enable media producers to collaborate with scholars to develop humanities content and to prepare programs for production. Grants should result in a script (for a film or television project) or a detailed treatment (for a radio or podcast project) and may also yield a detailed plan for outreach and public engagement in collaboration with a partner organization or organizations.
- Production Grants support the production and distribution of films, television programs, and radio programs or podcasts that promise to engage a broad public audience.
