Post-PhD Research Grant

The Post-PhD Research Grant funds individual research projects undertaken by doctorates in anthropology or a closely related field. The Foundation's goal is to support vibrant and significant work that furthers our understanding of what it means to be human. There is no preference for any methodology, research location, topic, or subfield. The Foundation particularly welcomes proposals that integrate two or more subfields and pioneer new approaches and ideas. Qualified scholars of any nationality or institutional affiliation who hold a doctoral degree in anthropology or a related field at the time they apply are eligible, including independent scholars and senior scholars. The maximum award is $25,000, and grants are nonrenewable. There is no limit to the duration of the grant, and applicants may request funding to cover distinct research phases if this is part of the research design.
