Opportunity Information: Apply for 20171102 AV
The Dialogues on the Experience of War grant opportunity is a discretionary funding program offered by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) under its broader initiative, Standing Together: The Humanities and the Experience of War. The central idea behind the program is that reading, studying, and talking through major humanities sources about war (such as literature, philosophy, history, memoir, and related humanistic texts) can help U.S. military veterans and others think more carefully and critically about the realities of war and military service. While veterans are the primary audience, the program is also meant to include active-duty service members, military families, and interested members of the general public, creating a setting where different perspectives can be brought into thoughtful conversation.
Funding is provided through grants with an award ceiling of up to $100,000. Grant recipients are expected to use these funds to run structured public discussion activities centered on humanities content. At a minimum, the project must convene at least two separate discussion programs, and each of those discussion programs must include no fewer than fifteen participants. In addition to hosting the discussions themselves, applicants must also create a preparatory component designed to recruit and train the people who will guide the conversations, referred to as NEH Discussion Leaders. This training element is a required piece of the program and is intended to ensure that discussions are well-facilitated, substantive, and grounded in the selected humanities materials rather than being informal or purely personal storytelling sessions.
The program is designed to be flexible in terms of where activities can take place, emphasizing community access and a welcoming environment for participants. Discussion programs may be hosted in a range of venues, including college and university campuses, veterans centers, public libraries, museums, and other community locations that can support group programming. This allows a wide variety of organizations to propose projects that fit local needs, whether the goal is to serve veterans on a campus, connect with veterans through community-based organizations, or bring veterans and civilians together in public cultural spaces.
A broad set of applicants are eligible, reflecting the program's community-focused approach. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The program is listed under CFDA number 45.163 and is administered by NEH. The specific opportunity referenced here is identified as Funding Opportunity Number 20171102, with an original closing date of November 2, 2017, and a creation date of September 1, 2017.
In practical terms, a strong proposal for this opportunity would typically describe which humanities readings or other core sources will anchor the dialogue, how the sessions will be structured to support respectful and meaningful discussion, how at least two qualifying discussion programs will be delivered, and how the project will recruit participants and ensure a minimum group size of fifteen for each program. It would also explain the design of the preparatory training program for discussion leaders, including how leaders will be selected, what training they will receive, and how the project will maintain quality and consistency across multiple discussion groups. Overall, the program supports humanities-based public engagement that uses shared texts and guided conversation as a tool to explore the moral, cultural, historical, and personal dimensions of war and military service.Apply for 20171102 AV
