Overview
THEN/HiER is the first pan-Canadian organization devoted to promoting—and improving—history teaching and learning by bringing together the multiple and varied constituencies involved in history education: academic historians; public historians in museums, archives and historic sites; practicing teachers; researchers based in faculties of education; and curriculum policy makers. Our goal is to stimulate an active, participatory dialogue among these various communities of history educators, a dialogue that explores how best to improve history education in all its forms through more research-informed practice (from kindergarten to graduate school) and more practice-informed research.
Each year, THEN/HiER will consider requests for support for between $2,500 and up to a maximum of $15,000 for projects related to history teaching and learning in Canada. We welcome proposals from THEN/HiER partner organizations and individuals, including graduate students, as well as others engaged in history education research and practice in Canada. Proposals should indicate in the budget other sources of funding, including in-kind contributions. They should also clearly state how the project will involve collaboration across different THEN/HiER constituencies (for example, between teachers and academic historians, or between teacher educators and a public history organization such as a museum).
Application Procedures
Applications should consist of:
1. A proposal, outlining the project’s anticipated outcomes, how it will contribute to networking and/or research in history education, and whether/how it will facilitate collaboration among THEN/HiER constituencies (max. 3 pages).
2. A budget outlining how the THEN/HiER funds will be used (max. 1 page).
3. Curriculum Vitaes for the main project collaborators (max. 1 page each).
Criteria for Successful Applications
1. The proposal must be from individuals or groups involved in history education for a project that is not for profit.
2. The project must either establish or reinforce collaboration among different constituencies (e.g., schools and museums, or teachers and academic historians) involved in history education that share a common educational goal.
3. The proposal must be submitted by the main applicant organization and indicate other partner organizations or individuals involved in the project.
4. The results of the project must be long-term, sustainable (not, for example, a temporary museum exhibition, workshop, or fieldtrip), and have broad impact.
5. The results of the project must include some tangible product (e.g., educational resource available to the public free of charge in print or online, or both).
6. The proposal must indicate if there are other sources of funding and if so they must be confirmed in writing before any THEN/HiER funds are dispersed.
7. The proposal must clearly indicate the approach to be taken to the teaching of history in the resource(s).
8. We will normally fund one grant per year based on our adjudication criteria. If no project meets these criteria, we may not award any project in a given year. The deadline for proposals is April 30, 2010.
9. Up to 50% of the total amount awarded may be dispersed prior to project completion upon receipt of an invoice for expenses incurred, including receipts, accompanied by an interim report.
10. We particularly welcome proposals that seek to involve collaboration among organizations from different provinces.
