Consultation Grants for Libraries, Museums, or Special Projects: Consultation grants are designed to help museums, libraries, historical organizations, and community organizations develop a new project or chart a new interpretive direction for an institution. By using a Consultation grant, institutions can confer with a team of advisors to help identify key humanities themes and questions that will guide the early stages of a project's development. Projects should use consultants to incorporate a variety of perspectives, draw on relevant humanities scholarship, and develop possible interpretive approaches. While humanities scholars must be part of the project team, museum curators or educators, librarians, and others with experience and knowledge of the humanities or the project's technical aspects may also participate as consultants. Most competitive proposals have a range of consultants whose expertise is tailored to the particular needs of the project. The expertise of the consultants should complement the staff of the institution applying for the grant. The project should be based on sound scholarship, examine the subject analytically, and address a broad set of humanities themes. Projects should: * convey significant humanities ideas to the public; * use formats and programs creatively to engage audiences; * examine topics and ideas in a regional or national context; * extend their impact by reaching beyond a local level, involving new audiences, or serving as models. Consultation grants can be used for: * bringing in outside consultants. * traveling to relevant collections or sites to learn from model projects and consult with advisors. *identifying key advisors and other organizations that could collaborate on the project. *covering reasonable costs associated with consultation activities (e.g., honoraria for consultants, long-distance telephone charges, initial audience evaluations, special research, etc). *developing a preliminary plan for the format and design of a project. Support is available for projects in the following three main program categories: Libraries and Archives projects make the collections of libraries and archival institutions accessible to the public through programs such as reading or film discussion series, traveling panel exhibitions, and lectures and public symposia. Support is also available for complementary components such as curriculum materials, brochures, and websites. Projects in Museums and Historical Organizations include interpretive exhibitions (both long-term and traveling), the interpretation of historic sites, and other complementary interpretive project components, such as catalogs, public symposia, and websites. Special Projects are normally sponsored by organizations other than museums, libraries, and historical organizations. Projects typically use a combination of programming formats and reach broad regional or national audiences at diverse venues. Projects may include reading or film discussion series, lectures and symposia, as well as related exhibitions, publications, brochures, or websites.
