The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Division of Public Programs is accepting applications for the Media Projects program.

The Media Projects program supports the development, production, and distribution of radio, podcast, long-form documentary films, and documentary film series that engage general audiences with humanities ideas in creative and appealing ways. Projects must be grounded in humanities scholarship and demonstrate an approach that is thoughtful, balanced, and analytical; proposals must demonstrate the potential to attract a broad general audience.

The Division of Public Programs encourages media projects that promote a deeper understanding of American history and culture and advance civic education, as well as those that examine international themes and subjects in the humanities.
