Projects must be intended for national distribution during prime time hours, whether on public television, commercial television, or cable networks.

Production grants support the preparation of a program for broadcast. Applications must include a script or a detailed treatment that demonstrates a solid command of the humanities scholarship about the subject. It should also show how the program's narrative elements and visual approach will combine to present the intellectual issues.
