Grant Alert Archives
The Forecast of Funding Opportunities is by no means a complete list (although it is well-researched and pretty comprehensive).
The intention behind it is to give faculty, staff and divisions enough lead time to plan and develop their projects and
proposals. Many of these opportunities are annual so if you miss one this year, it is usually held again at approximately the
same time the following year. If you come across any opportunities that you think should be added to this list, please email me
at ywu-craig@chabotcollege.edu. Thank you for your interest!
Note: Links within these archives may not be accurate and some may have

2002 SUMMER SEMINARS &
INSTITUTES
HUMANITIES FOCUS GRANTS
NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES (NEH)
http://www.neh.fed.us/
Deadline: March 1, 2002 (Summer Seminars); April 15, 2002 (Focus Grants)
Summer Seminars & Institutes provide college and university teachers
four to six weeks of formal study on topics in the humanities. Teachers selected
to participate receive a stipend of $2,800, $3,250, or $3,700 (depending on
the length of the seminar or institute) to cover the costs of travel, books,
and other research and living expenses. First consideration is given to applicants
who have not participated in an NEH-supported seminar or institute in the last
three years. A list of available topics is on file in the Grant Development
Office. Application information and expanded project descriptions are available
upon request to NEH seminar and institute directors.
Humanities Focus Grants enable educators to consider together significant
humanities topics or to map institutional directions for teaching the humanities.
Grants range from $10,000 to $25,000 and may span an academic year or year and
a half. Funds may be used to pay for guest scholars and visiting consultants,
for observation of model programs, for books and other materials, for logistical
support, and especially for release time so that participants have time to read,
think, write, and deliberate. NEH encourages potential applicants to consult
with a program officer prior to grant submission. Program officers will review
preliminary proposals and provide feedback if sent four to six weeks prior to
the proposal deadline.
UNSOLICITED GRANT PROGRAM
UNITED STATES INSTITUTE OF PEACE
http://www.usip.org/grants/Unsolicited_Grants.html
Deadline: March 1, 2002
The United States Institute of Peace is inviting proposals for research, education
and training, and information dissemination projects on international peace
and conflict resolution. Supported activities include basic and applied research,
development of curricula and texts, teacher training institutes, workshops and
seminars, development of training and continuing education courses for practitioners
and policymakers, video and radio projects, speaker's programs, among other
related initiatives. The Institute sets no disciplinary restrictions and welcomes
proposals of an interdisciplinary nature. Most awards range from $25,000 to
$45,000 for a one-to-two year duration, although somewhat larger grants are
also awarded. Application materials are available on the website above.
INNOVATION GRANTS
THE NEA FOUNDATION FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF EDUCATION
http://www.nfie.org/programs/innovation_guidelines.htm
Deadline: March 15, 2002
Innovation grants support faculty collaborations of two or more teachers to
develop and implement innovative ideas that result in high student achievement.
Grants of $2,000 may be used for resource materials, supplies, equipment, transportation,
software, and professional fees/development over an eighteen month grant period.
Funds may not be used to pursue degrees on a full-time basis, to pay indirect
costs or administrative overhead, or to pay salary supplements. Preference is
given to applicants that serve economically disadvantaged students as well as
to members of the National Education Association.
RESPONSIVE GRANTS
TRUSTEE-APPROVED COMMUNITY GRANTS
EAST BAY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
http://www.eastbaycf.org/
Deadline: None
The East Bay Community Foundation supports the development of sustainable communities
throughout Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. The Foundation maintains a strong
focus on the following areas: education, youth development, human services,
community health and wellness, the environment, organizational effectiveness,
civic engagement, and economic development. Eligible applicants include nonprofit
organizations and public agencies in the East Bay region.
Responsive Grants are modest grants ranging from $1,500 to $10,000 for
small scale projects that respond to the Foundation's priorities. Funds may
be requested for a variety of purposes. The Foundation particularly encourages
requests to support technical assistance needs, special projects, and immediate
opportunities for which funding is needed quickly. Requests are considered on
the basis of a three-page letter of inquiry.
Trustee-Approved Community Grants are awarded to agencies whose work
addresses the Foundation's community goals and strategies. Projects may range
from those providing a direct service to projects working on a systemic level.
Awards are typically for more than $10,000 and are considered by the Foundation's
Program Leadership (Grantmaking) Committee at quarterly meetings. Requests are
initiated through a three page letter of inquiry. Selected applicants will be
invited to submit full proposals.
The Foundation encourages potential applicants to discuss a project idea with
program staff prior to submitting a letter of inquiry.
