ResearchChannel invites universities and nonprofit research institutions to
submit proposals to develop programming that showcases research. This pilot
call for proposals and matching fund award will reimburse winning entrants 
for
one-half the cost of the video production (e.g., interview, panel, 
documentary,
or performance), up to $6,000.

Submissions must contribute to and support public awareness of the value of
research, contribute to and support public knowledge of, familiarity with, 
and
thinking about major issues and discoveries that affect our lives and 
futures.

The purpose of these awards is to provide a showcase for the outstanding 
work
being done by world-class researchers at leading research and academic
institutions and to make that content available to the public. These awards
also seek to encourage institutions and researchers that otherwise would not
have sufficient production funds to create quality video programming to
document and share their research.

The call is open to all accredited universities and nonprofit research
institutions. Preference will be given to ResearchChannel participant
organizations.
