About this opportunity

This grant program supports meetings and events that promote the development of inclusive communities of anthropologists and advance significant and innovative research. Conferences that are supported are public events directed at large audiences of anthropologists, prioritizing scholarly gatherings that bring together members of large, international anthropological organizations. Workshops that are supported are closed meetings focused on pressing topics in anthropology, where small groups of scholars gather for several days to work intensively on particular themes. The Foundation's aim is to help organizers make these conferences and workshops more inclusive and accessible by covering costs for scholars who might not otherwise be able to attend. For conferences, organizers should use the majority of funds to cover the expenses of international scholars who are making presentations or contributing critically. For workshops, grants support intimate, small-scale meetings where participants share their work or act as discussants, with an expectation of an afterlife in the form of publications or other lasting contributions to the field.
