Claudia Kinkela, Senior Program Officer in the Division of Research, has served as the team lead for the NEH Fellowships Program for over a decade. Kinkela's morning session provides an overview of NEH programs and grant opportunities and focuses on how to write competitive applications.
Kinkela also moderates a mock peer review panel -- Ray, Lacy, and Moore -- to help demonstrate how submissions are evaluated and recommended for funding. The group will discuss and rank actual NEH applications according to NEH procedures.
As part of this site visit, Kinkela will conduct a limited number of in-person one-on-one afternoon consultations for individuals with existing projects in development.
