Grant Description: NEH supports television documentary programs or historical dramatizations that address significant figures, events, or developments in the humanities and draw their content from humanities scholarship. Projects must be intended for national distribution during prime time hours, whether on public television, commercial television, or cable networks. Support is also available for DVDs and websites that expand the content of the television program. To ensure that the humanities themes and questions are well conceived, projects should use a team of scholars who are from major fields relevant to the subject matter and have diverse perspectives and approaches. 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. Applicants should have consulted with appropriate scholars about the project and obtained their commitment to continue as advisers. Finally, applicants should have recruited the media team, including at a minimum the producer and the director. For programs that are part of a series, include basic treatments--not scripts or detailed treatments--for all the remaining programs in the series.
