The selected vendor will provide comprehensive media project services, including the development, production, and distribution of radio programs, podcasts, and documentary films. These projects should engage general audiences with humanities ideas in creative and appealing ways, with an emphasis on building upon robust humanities scholarship to deepen public understanding.

Vendors are expected to approach topics analytically, presenting a variety of perspectives, and to involve humanities scholars from outside their organization throughout all phases of development and production. Appropriate media professionals must also be engaged, and the final products should employ accessible formats that actively engage the general public. Projects must demonstrate potential to attract a large public audience.
