Updated July 2015 SELECTED FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR FACULTY AND GRADUATE STUDENTS IN FILM AND MEDIA STUDIES This document lists both fellowships for individual work and grants that require institutional sign-off and therefore must be submitted through the University of Kansas Center for Research (KUCR) or KU Endowment Association. Opportunities are listed for graduate students, as well as faculty, so please share the list with anyone you think may be interested. To navigate, keep the document in layout view, scroll to the table of contents, then click on the page number of the agency or program in which you’re interested. This will take you directly to that entry. If you then wish to learn more, click on the agency’s website address (URL), which you will find near the bottom of the entry. If clicking doesn’t work, copy the URL, paste it into the address line of your web browser, and type return. Many humanities and area studies centers offer only thematic fellowships, programs and deadlines can change, and some agencies had not updated their websites at the time this document was compiled, so do check the agency websites and read application instructions carefully. This list is intended for planning purposes. It is our hope that you will be able to use it to quickly determine which agencies might fund your work, easily find more information about them by visiting their websites, and then develop an external applications timeline that will help you stay on task as you prepare your proposals. Developing grant and fellowship proposals takes focus and time. Because most agencies have deadlines only once each year and take from three to eight months to announce awards, think long-term when planning your external funding strategies. While you may be able to put together a viable fellowship proposal in as little as six weeks, it will be difficult, if not impossible, to develop an institutional proposal (one that requires submission by a 501(c)3 non profit organization) in that timeframe. Because of their complexity and the necessity for approval and sign-off by KUCR, you should begin working on an institutional proposal a minimum of four months and preferably six months prior to the agency’s deadline. Work from the previous year’s grant proposal guidelines until the agency posts new instructions, then tweak as may be necessary. Starting four to six months before the agency's last known deadline will help to ensure that you can complete and finalize all of the proposal components by KUCR's and the Humanities Grant Development Office's (HGDO) internal deadlines and that your proposal will be as competitive as possible. Please keep in mind that the internal deadline to submit all final materials to the HGDO is five (5) working days prior to the agency’s deadline. If requesting review and comment, the deadline to submit final drafts is ten (10) working days prior to the agency's deadline. You can submit individual fellowship and grant applications entirely on your own or though the HGDO. Institutional proposals must be submitted on your behalf by KUCR, which has an internal deadline of five (5) working days for all final application materials. HGDO can serve as your interface with KUCR, if you begin working with us early enough to allow us to provide this service. This list is not exhaustive. If you know of other sources, please let us know. If you find nothing here that might help you, go to http://pivot.cos.com and conduct a search specific to your needs. This service is free to KU graduate students and faculty courtesy of the KU Center for Research and offers the most comprehensive and dependable compilation of funding opportunities available. You can access it from any KU computer or, if KU is your service provider, from your computer at home.

Projects must be analytical and deeply grounded in humanities scholarship in a discipline such as history, religion, anthropology, jurisprudence, or art history. NEH is a national funding agency, so the projects we support must demonstrate the potential to attract a broad, general audience. We welcome humanities projects tailored to particular groups, such as families, youth (including K-12 students), teachers, seniors, at-risk communities, and veterans, but they should also strive to cultivate a more inclusive audience. NEH encourages projects that engage public audiences through multiple formats in the exploration of humanities ideas. Proposed projects might include complementary components to a film, television, or radio project. These components should deepen the audience’s understanding of the subject: for example, websites, mobile applications, museum exhibitions, book/film discussion programs, or podcasts. 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 and should also yield a detailed plan for outreach and public engagement in collaboration with a partner organization or organizations. of films, television programs, radio programs, and related programs that promise to engage the public. Production Grants the production and distribution of films, television programs, radio programs, and related programs that promise to engage the public.
