The following description and application link concerns The Whiting Public Engagement Fellowship

Proposals for the Whiting Public Engagement Fellowship should be far enough into development or execution to present specific, compelling evidence that they will successfully engage the intended public. Strong proposals will show evidence of both the overall strategy and the practical plan to implement the proposed project. Relationships with key collaborators should already be deeply developed, and, in some cases, the nominee and collaborators may have tested the idea in a pilot, or the project itself may already be underway.

Nominees may propose to direct funds however will best meet the needs of the project. Funding may not be used to cover indirect costs of administering the program.

Further information about the disciplines and types of project proposals that are eligible for funding are available within the Whiting Public Engagement Guidelines for Nominees and the Humanities Indicators Project
