The Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation. In 2000, the Center won an innovation grant from the Foundation, designed to increase graduate student cooperation with professionals outside the academy. With the seed money from this award, the Center was able to respond to a growing concern expressed by secondary school teachers. For several years, academic organizations such as the Society for Cinema & Media Studies have received increasing numbers of requests from teachers who want to use film in their classrooms, but who are well aware of the pitfalls of using movies as historical artifacts. The Foundation funded our efforts to convene an advisory committee, collect relevant data and produce our first guides.
