The Center for Environmental Journalism ( http://colorado.edu/journalism/cej/index.html ), an initiative of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the Univer- sity of Colorado at Boulder, offers the Ted Scripps Fellowships in Environmental Journalism to help provide professional journal- ists with the knowledge necessary to cover the environment more effectively and enrich the public's understanding of this subject.

Through seminars and field trips, the program brings participants together with leading environmental specialists. The fellowships cover tuition and fees.

In addition, a $47,000 stipend will be paid for the 2008-09 academic year. Five Ted Scripps Fellowships are awarded each year. The program is open to all full-time U.S. print or broadcast journalists interested in deepening and broadening their knowledge of envi- ronmental issues. Prior experience in covering the environment is not required.

Typical award amounts range from $5,000 to $15,000 per institution. Please note that under this program, funds are not awarded directly to individuals engaged in the performing arts, or to cover the expenses of developing scripts, producing films, or funding educational expenses of any kind. Nor are funds awarded to film festivals. (The academy has a separate Festival Grants Program.)

American Philosophical Society Accepting Applications for Lewis and Clark Fund for Exploration and Field Research

Deadline: February 15, 2008

The American Philosophical Society's ( http://www.amphilsoc.org/ ) Lewis and Clark Fund encourages exploratory field studies for the collection of specimens and data and to provide the imaginative stimulus that accompanies direct observation. Although applications are invited from disciplines with a large dependence on field studies, such as archeology, anthropology, biology, ecology, geography, geology, linguistics, and paleontology, grants will not be restricted to these fields. Grants will be available to doctoral students. Postdoctoral fellows, master's degree candidates, and undergraduates are not eligible.

The competition is open to U.S. residents wishing to carry out research anywhere in the world. Foreign applicants must either be based at a U.S. institution or plan to carry out their work in the United States.

Grant amounts will depend on travel costs, but will ordinarily be in the range of several hundred dollars up to about $5,000 each. Grants are payable to the individual applicant. Budgets should be limited to travel and related expenses, including personal field equipment.

Visit the American Philosophical Society Web site for complete program guidelines. RFP Link: http://fconline.foundationcenter.org/pnd/10010109/amphilsoc

Jerome Foundation Travel and Study Grant Program Open to Artists in Minnesota and New York City

Deadline: February 13, 2008

The Jerome Foundation Travel and Study Grant Program awards grants to emerging creative artists in Minnesota and New York City. Funds support periods of travel for the purpose of study, exploration, and growth. The 2008 Travel and Study Grant Program will support artists working in literature, film/video, and dance. (In 2009, artists working in music, theater, and visual arts will be eligible to apply.)

In literature, writers of poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and spoken word may apply. In film, film and video directors may apply. And in dance, choreographers may apply. Minnesota-based executive and program administrators working for nonprofit arts organizations in literature, film/video, or dance are also eligible to apply due to a specific contribution for that category. Applicants must live in Minnesota or one of the five boroughs of New York City at the time of application and must have lived in that location at least one year prior to the application deadline.

Grants of up to $1,500 each will be awarded for short-term travel of three to six days. Grants of up to $5,000 each will be awarded for trips of one week or longer. The program is designed to support individuals rather than organizations. Multiple-person partnerships may apply on one application form if the monies requested do not exceed $5,000.

Visit the Jerome Foundation Web site for complete program information. RFP Link: http://fconline.foundationcenter.org/pnd/10010110/jeromefdn

vote to help a dance company

Dear fellow NYU Alum, friends and advocates for the performing arts,

I hope you are well. I wanted to let you know about a new series of free web tools that we are developing to serve the performing arts and to ask for your help in getting the word out about an opportunity that we have to win $10,000 to help us create them. The contest runs for all of December, but the votes between now and Dec 7th are the most important so if you can help spread the word in the next few days that would be especially appreciated. I hope you will vote too!

Thank you for your consideration. I send my best wishes!

--Chris Elam, Misnomer Dance Theater, NYU Tisch MFA graduate 2001


In addition to creating dances, Misnomer Dance Theater has put together a proposal to build online tools for the dance world. Please take two minutes to vote for us on IdeaBlob to win $10,000 toward building these tools to share with dance and theater artists to help them increase bookings and revenue and give online audiences more engaging experiences. The web has created new opportunities for artists and we are asking you to help enable us to build these resources for the arts. This first round of voting ends December 7th, so we need you to support our idea on IdeaBlob today! With your vote and this $10k, we'll be creating exciting ways for people to discover arts online!

Vote here:
http://www.ideablob.com/ideas/906-Impact-the-arts-Enable-perform

What will Misnomer do if we win $10,000 for this idea?Your vote will help us:

1) BUILD web-streaming capabilities for rehearsals enabling audiences to "attend" live rehearsals online and interact directly with artists.

2) CREATE an online theater in which visitors can watch and direct performances from multiple perspectives including back stage views, and performers' point of view via body mounted cameras.

3) DEVELOP tools to request and display the geography of artist's online audiences. Venues in new cities can then have ready-made audience bases.

We hope these online tools will help transform artist's websites into sites of participation. We anticipate this will create great impact in the arts world!
VOTE FOR US on IdeaBlob (reg req'd)!

Or, heck, register your own idea!
