Description
The Advancing the Discipline Grants, offered by the National Communication Association (NCA), are designed to support projects and events that have a broad impact on the field of Communication. These grants specifically fund initiatives that further the discipline itself, rather than individual research, and must align with the NCA’s strategic plan. The goal is to foster activities that elevate the collective understanding and practice of Communication, benefiting the wider academic and professional community beyond a single department, campus, or NCA unit.
