National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), Media Development and Media Production GrantsProjects should encourage dialogue, discussion, and civic engagement, and foster learning among people of all ages. Applicants should consider more than one format for presenting humanities ideas to the public. NEH offers two categories for media projects: 1) Development grants support film, television, and radio projects for general audiences that encourage active engagement with humanities ideas in creative ways. All projects must be grounded in humanities scholarship in disciplines such as history, art history, film studies, literature, drama, religious studies, philosophy, and anthropology. Projects must demonstrate an approach that is thoughtful, balanced, and analytical, going beyond the mere presentation of factual information to explore its larger significance and stimulate critical thinking. These awards range from $40,000-$75,000, depending on the complexity of the project, and are usually for a period of 6-12 months. 2) Production grants support film, television, and radio projects for general audiences that encourage active engagement with humanities ideas in creative and appealing ways. These projects should have completed research on the subject, including archival work and preliminary interviews; involve scholars in creating and interpreting the project’s content; completed the project’s script(s) for film or television projects, or detailed treatments for radio projects; and designed the plans for distribution, outreach, and partnerships. Chairman’s Special Awards (up to $1 million) are offered for projects of exceptional significance, audience reach, and complexity. This kind of project should examine important humanities ideas in new ways and promise to reach extremely large audiences. These awards are offered only at the production stage--not at the development stage.

The grant furnishes U.S. Antarctic Program (USAP) operational support, and round-trip economy air tickets between the United States and the Southern Hemisphere, to artists and writers whose work requires them to be in the Antarctic to complete their proposed project. It does not provide funds for salary, materials, completion of the envisioned works, or any other purpose–support is in-kind only. The purpose is to increase understanding and appreciation of the Antarctic and of human activities on the southernmost continent. Through the program, artists and writers may visit Antarctica through the USAP in order to make first-hand observations that will inform their efforts to interpret and represent the scientific activities being conducted in the Antarctic and the nature of this unique ecosystem. Award winners are required to broadly disseminate the works they produce as a public benefit; therefore the NSF expects well-developed plans for bringing the artistic or literary works before the widest possible cross-section of the public.
