Evans Fund

The Evans Fund supports research in anthropology or archaeology in relation to Southeast Asia. A postgraduate of any university is eligible to apply, provided that they intend to engage in research in anthropology or archaeology in relation to Southeast Asia, specifically in Borneo, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. The Advisory Committee is interested to hear from senior scholars seeking contributions towards major projects, as well as early career researchers and graduate students applying for small research grants. Awards can cover travel from home to research field and return, local travel in fieldwork area, subsistence in fieldwork area, special local expenditure such as wages of interpreters and research assistants, and other expenditure including special equipment. The Fund is specifically for research and cannot be used for tuition fees. It is expected that successful candidates will either be based in Cambridge or will spend a substantial period of time during or after their period of research in Cambridge.
