INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE MEDIA PROJECT APPLICATION FORM
Please consult Humanities Texas Grant Guidelines 2005-2007 before completing the application. Applications must be typed.
1. PROJECT TITLE. The title should be brief, informative, and suited to publicity efforts.
2. PROJECT FORMAT. Check as requested.
3. SPONSORING ORGANIZATION. Indicate whether the sponsor is a public or private non-profit entity. Indicate the U.S.
Congressional, Texas Senate and House districts, and county in which the sponsor is located.
4. CO-SPONSORING ORGANIZATION. List as appropriate. HTx encourages collaborations and partnerships.
5. PROJECT DIRECTOR NAME/FISCAL AGENT NAME. Complete as requested. The authorizing official, project director,
and fiscal agent should not be the same person.
6. HUMANITIES ADVISOR NAME. A humanities scholar is required to assist the project director, if the project director is
not a humanities scholar, in defining the humanities focus of the project and in securing necessary humanities resources.
This person typically holds an M.A. or PhD in a humanities field. This scholar must review the proposal (including the
draft) before it is submitted to HTx, and is considered to be a member of the Advisory Committee. He or she should play a
major role throughout the life of the project.
7. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT. Summarize the products/programs to be produced and their humanities
component.
8. PROJECT GOALS. Describe the program or product in specific, measurable objectives. If the HTx project is part of a
larger project, place it within that context.
9. AUDIENCE. Describe target audiences or groups who will benefit from your project.
10. GRANT PERIOD. The beginning and ending dates of a grant period should cover all phases of a project, from early
publicity to final expenditures and evaluations. The beginning date should be the first of the month; the ending date, the
last day. A grant period may not exceed 18 months. No cost-share or HTx/NEH funds can be obligated prior to the
beginning of the grant period. Note: HTx final reports are due within 90 days of the end of the grant period.
11. ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMBERS. Advisory committees should include members of the public who represent the
target audience as well as humanities scholars with expertise relevant to the project. This committee should assist in
planning and implementing the project, and must review the application prior to submission.
12. KEY PARTICIPATING HUMANITIES TEACHERS/SCHOLARS. Complete as requested. Include members of the
Advisory Committee where appropriate. HTx must approve any persons included who do not hold an MA or PhD in a
humanities discipline.
13. KEY PRODUCTION PERSONNEL. Complete as requested.
14. PROGRAM ACTIVITIES. Provide information on public programs (conferences, workshops, classes), if appropriate to this
project, and on anticipated broadcast of video/film products. Follow-up programming related to production of websites and
CD-ROMS, as well as to any other school or public programming regardless of the media format, should be noted.
15. PROJECT SITES. For activities planned, comment on the suitability of the sites selected (i.e., is the site accessible to the
project's target audience?).
16. PUBLICITY. Summarize your publicity plans, including types of advertising, plans for distribution, and timetables.
17. EVALUATION. At the project's close, project directors are required to submit to HTx an evaluation of the project's
strengths and weaknesses. Indicate evaluation procedures, including the work of any outside evaluator. If there will be an
opportunity for audience feedback, please describe how you will obtain their responses.
18. SOURCES OF CONTRIBUTION. List all sources of cash contribution, including federal funds. Because NEH matching
funds may be used by HTx in its support of media projects, this section should provide pertinent information on where the
sponsoring organization plans to obtain the third-party funds necessary to qualify for the NEH matching funds.
19. BUDGET SUMMARY. Information provided should be drawn from the detailed budget that is submitted with the
application (see Detailed Budget Guidelines sheet).
15. AGREEMENT. Please have appropriate officials sign and date the application.
Final proposal must be postmarked no later than midnight of the deadline. If the deadline falls on a Sunday, the
proposal can be postmarked the following day.
APPLICANTS MUST SUBMIT THE ORIGINAL, SIGNED GRANT PROPOSAL PLUS 15 COPIES OF THE
COMPLETED PROPOSAL AND ACCOMPANYING MATERIALS.A
