Radio Projects: Consultation Grants: The goal of NEH in supporting projects for radio is two-fold: to increase the presence of the humanities within radio programming; and to use the variety and creativity of radio production to engage public audiences in the ideas, approaches, and resources of the humanities. Consultation grants support the earliest stages of developing humanities programs for radio. Producers, radio stations, and other non-profit organizations may use these grants to consult with humanities scholars about the content of proposed radio programs. Radio stations and organizations may use these grants to assess existing programs, evaluate archives and resources, and consult with scholars about ways of using these resources to produce humanities radio programming. Organizations and producers that have never received an NEH grant are especially encouraged to apply. Projects should address significant figures, events, or developments in the humanities and draw their content from humanities scholarship. Each project should have a team of scholarly advisers working closely with radio professionals over the course of the grant to ensure that the humanities themes and questions are well conceived and that the project is informed by significant scholarship. The advisers should represent the major areas of scholarship, have diverse perspectives and approaches, and come from across the nation. Projects may: * develop new humanities content to augment existing radio programming or add the larger historical background or humanities analysis to the subjects of existing programs; * propose new models for presenting humanities content on radio or for reaching new audiences; * target the widest possible audiences in national, regional, or local markets with stories that explore topics in a broad regional or national context; * feature documentary programs or historical dramatizations; and * involve single programs, limited series, or segments to be broadcast within an existing, ongoing program vehicle.
