What is meant by the “general public”?
PHC grants do not fund projects intended primarily for scholars or students in academia. Projects are eligible for funding only if they are intended for and open to a general audience. Academic conferences and programs that are designed mainly for members of academia are ineligible for funding. (Please note: Projects targeting audiences such as seniors and K-12 students are eligible for funding.) To ensure that a project is relevant to its target audience, representatives from that group should play a role in the project’s planning.
