The two-year grant is part of a more ambitious plan to raise the profile of the NPR podcast on race and identity.
The administration endorsed a CPB proposal that could free up system support funds for other uses.
NPR began rotating hosts and other staffers from its newsmagazines and international desk through Ukraine in January.
The confirmed members are Elizabeth Sembler, Tom Rothman and Laura Gore Ross.
Stations in Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Jackson, Miss., will join the CPB-supported Urban Alternative format with the goal of reaching new listeners.
Funds are enabling stations in current and potential COVID-19 hotspots to design projects that address their communities’ specific needs.
Each station will receive up to $20,000.
During the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour, PBS announced funding for Firelight Media, updates to its producer requirements and a new SVP for DEI.
If confirmed, the nominees would fill three of four vacant board of director seats.
