What is the good life? What is friendship? What is good government? Is there a human nature, and, if so, what is it? What are the limits of science? Enduring questions such as these have long held interest to college students and allow for a special, intense dialogue across generations.

The National Endowment for the Humanities has recently launched "Enduring Questions: Pilot Course Grants." This new grant program will support college faculty from any discipline with up to $25,000 to develop and to teach a new undergraduate humanities course that addresses questions like these.

The application deadline is November 13, 2008, and the sponsoring institution must agree to offer the course at least twice. For more information and instructions, please find the grant guidelines at: http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/EnduringQuestions.html .

We encourage you to share information about this new funding opportunity with your members.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at 202-606-8317 or [log in to unmask]">[log in to unmask].

Thanks!

Best,
