[Journalists] Media and Communications Grants Offered by Social Science Research Council

[Everett Gavel]

Okay, I tried sending this to this list by way of a
BCC,and apparently it gets flagged for review when I do
that.  But here it is.  I'm sending it through myself,
since some things in the past that were up for review
that way here, have never been heard from again.  I
wanted to make sure this notice got out, and that I
didn't forget about it.   =)



Hello Listers,

I had to pass this one along.  Oh, the possibilities
there are with this grant opportunity. Count the ways.
But beware, the deadline's fast approaching for this
funding cycle.  But keep it in mind for next time, even
if you miss out this time.  Because they accept
applications every 4 months.


To Your Success!
