Frankenstein Bicentennial Small Grants Program

The Frankenstein Bicentennial Project is providing small grants to spur Frankenstein-related activities across all aspects of Arizona State University. Any member of the ASU community is eligible to submit a proposal for up to $5,000. Grants must be for projects completed prior to the end of the bicentennial year of 2018.

Projects should promote a deeper reflection on Frankenstein and its enduring relevance, with a focus on these "animating questions":

• What is life?
• What does it mean to be human?
• What are our responsibilities as creators?
