Getting Grants, Part IV
----------------------------------------------------------------
In this last installment of our four-part series on writing 
successful grants, we start with a recent article from Education 
Week that describes several innovative summer professional 
development programs, and (at the end of the article) how they 
were funded:

One of the sources mentioned in this article is the National 
Endowment for the Humanities. For more information on their 
education-related grants, follow this link:
