Goals of the Program
 
The goal of the AAA Small Grants Program is to foster the development and

undergraduate, and graduate classes. Proposals for the development of
curricular materials in a variety of forms are welcome, including texts,
films, blogs, websites, exhibits, and other innovative media forms.  The
grant recipient(s) will have ten months to complete these new curricular
materials, the results of which will be featured in the ³Ethical Currents²
column of the December issue of Anthropology News (AN) as well as on the AAA
ethics blog, and highlighted at the Annual Meeting.
