Florida 2013
In 2013 Floridians will commemorate the Quincentennial of Ponce de Leon’s 1513 landing on Florida’s east coast and the subsequent 500-year relationship between our state and Spain.  This historic anniversary offers an opportunity to work towards a deeper understanding of both the historical context and the cultural significance of Florida’s on-going relationship with Spain. 

To help educate and inform the public about this historic event, the Florida Humanities Council is seeking proposals for its new “Florida 2013” Initiative. Grants include:

Public Program grants for scholars interested in conducting research that leads to the development of public programs and/or resources that will examine a clearly defined aspect of the 500-year relationship between Florida and Spain. Grantees are required to complete a minimum of three deliverables by the conclusion of the grant period, examples of which include but are not limited to: lectures, essays for publication, resources for classroom teachers, and on-line resources for the general public.
