<p>National Geographic has launched the &ldquo;Documenting Human Migrations&rdquo; <a href="https://www.for9a.com/en/opportunity/category/Grants" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Grant</a> for impactful projects that seek to increase understanding of and acceptance of migrants and migrant communities. There are over 65 million refugees in the world today and millions more &ldquo;environmental migrants&rdquo; are expected over the coming decades. These migrations are challenging social bonds and resource allocations across the world, motivating political agendas and potential backlash, but also creating new and dynamic multicultural communities. The goal of this RFP is to support projects that &ndash; through education or storytelling &ndash; seek to increase awareness of migrant communities. Types of human migrations include (but are not limited to) nomadic communities, refugees of all kinds, migrant labor, victims of human trafficking, and people exploring the planet and beyond.</p><h3><strong>Eligibility criteria:</strong></h3><ol><li>Project focus areas are: conservation, education, research, storytelling or technology&nbsp;</li><li>All applications should include a clear review of the state of knowledge about human origins in the region and, if applicable, a plan for evaluating the success of the proposed capacity development activities (e.g., field school)</li><li>All applications should explicitly state the plan for evaluating the impact of the proposed work on particular audiences</li><li>All application materials must be in English</li><li>Priority will be given to projects that aim to do one or more of the following through education or storytelling:</li><li>Document the causes and effects of one or more examples of present-day human migration</li><li>Document the lives of present-day migrants, their journeys, and receiving communities</li><li>Develop and test out classroom resources, curricula, or public outreach materials that aim to increase understanding of the migrant experience and acceptance of &nbsp;migrant communities</li></ol><h3><strong>Grant amount:</strong></h3><p>Typical proposal requests should be less than $30,000; however, applicants may request up to $70,000.
