Sponsor Type Federal, U.S.
Deadline Note The information in this record is based on the most current sponsor literature. The most recent deadline for this program was January 23, 2008. The record will be updated when new information becomes available.
Amount $100,000
Upper Amount $800,000
Amount Note Awards last for one to three years and may range from $100,000 to $800,000. In rare circumstances, awards may exceed this amount, depending on the scope, complexity, and reach of the production.
Chairman's special awards of up to $1 million are available for large-scale collaborative multiformat projects of exceptionally wide reach to the public.
Successful applicants will be awarded a grant in outright funds, matching funds, or a combination of the two, depending on the applicant's preference and the availability of funds.
Cost sharing is not required. NEH, however, is rarely able to support the full costs of projects approved for funding. In most cases, America's Media Makers grants cover no more than 50 to 60 percent of project costs. Cost sharing includes cash contributions to the project by the applicant and third parties, as well as in-kind contributions, such as donated goods and services. Cost sharing also includes gift money raised to release federal matching funds.
A grant from NEH for one stage of a project does not commit the endowment to continued support.
Under certain circumstances, a nonprofit organization may sponsor an independent producer, filmmaker or group who, without tax-exempt status, is not eligible to apply directly for a grant from NEH. The sponsoring organization, also called an umbrella organization, may provide the project with accounting services, office and editing facilities, fundraising assistance, and other administrative support, but may not carry out the project activities itself. Under this arrangement the umbrella organization is considered the grantee of record and assumes all attendant responsibilities of a grantee.
NEH will allow an umbrella organization to recover its costs for administering the award by charging an administrative fee of five percent of total project costs. This administrative fee may be charged instead of negotiating an indirect cost rate with NEH.
Eligibility Any U.S. nonprofit organization with IRS 501(c)(3) tax exempt status is eligible, as are state and local governmental agencies. Individuals are not eligible to apply. Independent producers who wish to apply for NEH funding are advised to seek an eligible organization to sponsor the project and submit the application to NEH.
NEH generally does not award grants to other federal entities or to applicants whose projects are so closely intertwined with a federal entity that the project takes on characteristics of the federal entity's own authorized activities. This does not preclude applicants from using grant funds from, or sites and materials controlled by, other federal entities in their projects.

Abstract
The National Endowment for the Humanities' (NEHs) grants for America's Media Makers support media projects that explore significant events, figures, or developments in the humanities and offer creative and new approaches to humanities content. America's Media Makers projects promote active exploration and engagement for broad public audiences in history, literature, archaeology, art history, comparative religion, philosophy, and other fields of the humanities. NEH supports the development of humanities content and interactivity that excites, informs, and stirs thoughtful reflection and urges applicants to consider more than one format for presenting humanities ideas to the public. Grants for America's Media Makers should enable greater audience engagement with the humanities, encourage dialogue and discussion, and foster discovery-based learning across the age spectrum.
Production grants support the preparation of a program for distribution. Applicants must submit a script for a radio or television program or a prototype or storyboard for a digital media project that demonstrates a solid command of the humanities ideas and scholarship about the subject. The script for a radio or television program or prototype or storyboard for a digital media project should also show how the narrative elements, visual approach, and interactive design combine to present the humanities ideas. Applicants must have consulted with the appropriate scholars about the project and obtained their commitment as advisers. Finally, applicants must have recruited the media team, including at a minimum the producer, director, writer, and, for a digital media project, the interactive designer.

Abstract
The "Interactive Art" category of the Prix Ars Electronica cyber-arts competition is dedicated to interactive works in all forms and formats, from installations to performances. At the top of the agenda is artistic quality in the development and design of the interaction as well as a harmonious dialog between the content level and the interaction level - that is, the inherent principles of interaction and the interfaces that implement them. Of particular interest is the socio-political relevance of the interaction as manifested by its innate potential to expand the scope of human action. Jurors are looking forward to encountering innovative technological concepts blended with superbly effective design (usability).
This category is open to all types of current interactive works in any form, including installation, performance, audience participation, network projects, telepresence and -communication, virtual reality/ augmented reality and innovative interfaces.
Projects must have already been realized to the extent that they may be judged on the basis of documentation. Criteria for judging the works include the form of interaction, interface design, new applications, technical innovations, originality and the significant role of the computer for the interaction.

Abstract As part of the digital humanities initiative, these grants support national or regional training programs on approaches in humanities computing. Through these programs, the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) seeks to increase the number of humanities scholars using digital technology in their research and broadly disseminate knowledge about advanced technology applications relevant to the humanities.
The goals of the institutes for advanced topics in the digital humanities are the following:
1. Bring together humanities scholars and digital technology specialists from different disciplines to share ideas and methods that advance humanities research through the use of digital technologies
2. Reflect on, interpret, and analyze new digital media, multimedia, and text-based computing technologies and integrate these into humanities research
3. Prepare current and future generations of humanities scholars to design, develop, and use cyber-based tools and environments for research
4. Devise new and creative uses for technology that offer valuable models that can be applied specifically to research in the humanities
