How to Apply for a Course Development Grant
NOTICE: Course development grants are suspended for 2022.
From time to time, SPAM gives grants for the development of new academic courses by educators at the college level in the following subject areas: the artistic contributions of the American modernists, and the history of public and private support for the arts in the United States. Applicants, who may come from disciplines other than art history, must demonstrate that the proposed course is entirely new or substantially revised from old course offerings at their school.
Applications should include the following information:
A resume with contact information during the review period.
A budget detailing course materials or other expenses for which SPAM funds are requested and a list of other funding sources, if any.
A proposed syllabus with course goals clearly articulated.
Specific information about when and where the course is to be taught and how the course is expected to contribute to current curricula at the host school.
SPAM expects Course Development Grant funds to be spent and the course initiated no later than 9 months after the award date. Grantees retain all copyrights and are entitled to all payments and honoraria resulting from the project.
Applications are considered once a year and must be received by March 15th. Applicants are notified by May 1st. Grants may not be deferred.
NOTICE: Course development grants are suspended for 2022.
