Television Projects: Consultation Grants: NEH supports television projects that are designed for national broadcast and that will engage diverse public audiences in the ideas, approaches, and resources of the humanities. Consultation grants enable television professionals to confer with humanities scholars in the earliest stages of developing programs to ensure that the humanities themes and questions are well conceived and that the project is informed by significant scholarship. Television projects may be single programs or multi-part series. They can also be documentary programs or historical dramatizations. Projects should: * address significant figures, events, or developments in the humanities and draw their content from humanities scholarship; * have a team of scholarly advisers working closely with the television professionals over the course of the grant; * use advisers who represent the major areas of scholarship on the subject, take diverse perspectives and approaches, and come from across the nation; and * be intended for broadcast to the widest possible audience during prime time hours. Projects can also include digital components, such as datacasting, DVDs, and websites, that will accompany the broadcast program. Digital projects should expand the content of the television program and provide the audience with ways to explore the content beyond the broadcast.
