America’s Historical and Cultural Organizations grants support projects in the humanities that explore stories, ideas, and beliefs that deepen our understanding of our lives and our world. The Division of Public Programs supports the development of humanities content and interactivity that excite, inform, and stir thoughtful reflection upon culture, identity, and history in creative and new ways. Grants for America’s Historical and Cultural Organizations should encourage dialogue, discussion, and civic engagement, and they should foster learning among people of all ages. strongApplications are due by August 26, 2009./strong span class=”fullpost”br /br /To that end, the Division of Public Programs urges applicants to consider more than one format for presenting humanities ideas to the public. Implementation grants support the final preparation of a project for presentation to the public. Applicants must submit a full walkthrough for an exhibition, or a prototype or storyboard for a digital project, that demonstrates a solid command of the humanities ideas and scholarship that relate to the subject. Applicants for implementation grants should have already done most of the planning for their projects, including the identification of the key humanities themes, relevant scholarship, and program formats. For exhibitions, implementation grants can support the final stages of design development, but these grants are primarily intended for installation. Applicants are not required to obtain a planning grant before applying for an implementation grant. Applicants may not, however, submit multiple applications for the same project at the same deadline. If an application for a project is already under review, another application for the same project cannot be accepted. See application guidelines for Planning Grants.br /br /America’s Historical and Cultural Organizations grants support projects that are presented in these formats: traveling exhibitions that are presented at multiple venues; long-term exhibitions at one institution; interpretive Web sites or other digital formats; interpretation of historic places or areas; reading and discussion programs; panel exhibitions that travel widely, reach a broad audience, and take advantage of complementary programming formats (e.g., reading and discussion series, radio, or other media) to enhance the visitor experience; or other project formats that creatively engage audiences in humanities ideas. Applications that make innovative use of emerging technologies are encouraged.br /br /Projects must do more than simply provide a digital archive of material. They should offer new ways of contextualizing and interpreting information that engages public audiences interactively in exploring humanities ideas and questions. Applications may, for example, include plans to create Web sites, PDA tours and resources, podcasts, virtual environments, wiki formats other formats that utilize user-generated content, virtual imaging, GIS mapping, online scholar-led discussions, video on demand, streaming video, games, or other digital formats.When it is relevant, applications must explain how user-generated postings to public cyberspace will be vetted by qualified scholars or project staff for accuracy and public educational value. Digital components should rest on sound humanities scholarship and enhance the project’s humanities content for the general public in ways that take unique advantage of the proposed formats.br /br /br /Document Type: Grants Noticebr /Funding Opportunity Number: 20090826-GIbr /Opportunity Category: Discretionarybr /Posted Date: Jun 22, 2009br /Creation Date: Jun 22, 2009br /Original Closing Date for Applications: Aug 26, 2009br /Current Closing Date for Applications: Aug 26, 2009br /Archive Date: Sep 25, 2009br /Funding Instrument Type: Grantbr /Category of Funding Activity: Humanities (see “Cultural Affairs” in CFDA)br /Category Explanation: Expected Number of Awards:br /Estimated Total Program Funding:br /Award Ceiling: $1,000,000br /Award Floor: $0br /CFDA Number(s): 45.164 — Promotion of the Humanities_Public Programsbr /Cost Sharing or Matching Requirement: Nobr /br /a href=”http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/AHCO_ImplementationGuidelines.html” target=”_blank”http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/AHCO_ImplementationGuidelines.html/abr /br //spanspan class=”fullpost”/spandiv class=”blogger-post-footer”img width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5076203316942198080-2958055629265785331?l=nthpgrants.blogspot.com’//divimg src=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/nthpgrants/~4/Cur_EkjswPY” height=”1″ width=”1″/
