What it funds
Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.
The National Endowment for the Humanities offers the Dialogues on the Experience of War (Dialogues) program as part of its current initiative, Standing Together: The Humanities and the Experience of War. The program supports the study and discussion of important humanities sources about war, in the belief that these sources can help U.S. military veterans and others think more deeply about the issues raised by war and military service. Dialogues is primarily designed to reach military veterans; however, men and women in active service, military families, and interested members of the public may also participate.
The program makes awards of up to $100,000 to support
• the convening of at least two sustained discussion programs for no fewer than fifteen participants; and
• the creation of a preparatory program to recruit and train program discussion leaders (NEH Discussion Leaders).
Preparatory training and discussion programs may take place in veterans’ centers, at public libraries or cultural centers, on college and university campuses, and at other community venues. The discussion programs should comprise multiple meetings that are long enough to allow participants to engage in deep and inclusive discussion.
