The National Endowment for the Humanities invites proposals for projects that advance the role of the humanities at community colleges through curriculum and faculty development on the theme of Bridging Cultures. NEH expects to award two or three cooperative agreements of up to $360,000 each in outright funds. Proposed projects should provide support for community college faculty and administrators to create new courses on Bridging Cultures themes or topics; design new course sequences, concentrations, and core curricula; or conduct scholarly research that will improve faculty preparation and enrich teaching. The application deadline is August 23, 2011. For more information, and instructions on how to apply, visit this page online.
