If you are applying with a team, your collaborators are no longer required to meet the strict demographic or U.S. residency criteria as long as you do as the lead applicant. You can now explicitly include artist fees and self-compensation in your funding request, but keep in mind that retroactive expenses are not allowed. When you are ready to apply, be prepared to complete a new eligibility questionnaire before accessing the main application and use the newly provided budget template.
