Grant Description: Public humanities programs promote the experience of lifelong learning in American and world history, literature, comparative religion, philosophy, and other fields of the humanities for broad public audiences. They invite reflection and conversation about important humanities ideas and questions. They offer new insights into familiar subjects and introduce us to unfamiliar ideas. NEH encourages projects that make creative use of new and emerging technologies to enhance the content of programs or to engage audiences in new ways. Planning grants can be used to plan, refine, and develop the content and interpretive approach of programs that reach broad audiences, including exhibitions, interpretation at historic sites and houses, reading and discussion programs, Web-based or other digital projects, or other public programs that encourage discussion, analysis, and reflection in the humanities. Applicants should have already conducted preliminary consultation with scholars to help shape the humanities content of the project and with other programming advisers appropriate to the projects format. NEH encourages complex projects that reach exceptionally large audiences in any of the following ways: * Creating collaborations among institutions, especially non-traditional partners, to expand the project's scope and reach. Projects that take advantage of statewide or regional associations (e.g., library networks, museum associations, state humanities councils, etc.) to reach broadly are welcome. * Envisioning diverse and wide-ranging program formats that expand or deepen the audience's engagement with the humanities by extending the projects scope to larger audiences or engaging the same audience in different ways. Conducting programming at large number of venues across the nation. * Devising a Chairmans Special Award exhibition. These are traveling, large-scale exhibitions of national visibility that would have exceptional potential for attracting large numbers of visitors. These exhibitions should show unusual promise in terms of disseminating important ideas in the humanities in ways that would be broadly appealing to the public. They should also include a strong companion Web site or other creative digital component that significantly enhances the humanities content of the project or improves its dissemination to audiences.
