Deadline - At least 6 weeks prior to the date of proposed event.

In addition to the programming sponsored by the Center for Public History through the CPH Lecture Series, we have set aside limited funding to support programming by other units. These funds are intended for events that align with the mission of the CPH Lecture Series endowment: to promote the importance of the humanities in the professions and in the public, and to provide the opportunity for Houston professionals, community leaders, and others to consider historical, social and cultural perspectives directly related to the decisions they make. 

Applications will ask for information about the date of your event, a proposal description, your budget, and current and pending financial support from other entities. 

Here is a Sample Budget breakdown:
1. Honoria (Include names of recipients and amount)
2. Travel and Lodging (Include names of recipients, hotel rates, and travel rates)
3. Office Space/Events Facilities + Promotions (Printing, Postage, Advertising, Other) + Supplies and Purchases (Books, Other) + Rentals (Equipment, Exhibits, Audio-Visual)
= Total Project Cost

Applications are due at least 6 weeks prior to the proposed event. Applicants are encouraged to submit proposals for an event months ahead of time.

*Funds may be used to pay honorariums, travel expenses, food, videography, and promotional materials. 

**Approved proposals will result in funds being transferred from CPH to the home department of the individual who is leading or hosting the event. The faculty member and their home department will be responsible for any contracting paperwork, travel arrangements, reimbursements, reservations, scheduling and setup for the event.

Events receiving support from the CPH Lecture Series must acknowledge the lecture series in all promotional materials. A branding approved logo will be provided for your convenience. After the event, you are asked to submit a summary of the event, including the number in attendance, and how the funds were spent for reporting purposes. If the event is recorded, please provide a copy or link to the recording for inclusion on our website. 

Applications will be accepted until the funds are exhausted.
