SHGAPE Research Grant

The Society for Historians of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era (SHGAPE) announces a grant of up to $1,500 to be awarded annually to a single recipient to support research on any topic concerning US history between 1865 and the 1920s. This grant was established in 2022 and is awarded annually to support research in progress. Eligibility is limited to advanced doctoral students, independent scholars, and contingent faculty who are members of SHGAPE. The funds may be used for expenses related to furthering research in progress, following the American Historical Association's definition of research expenses. The recipient will be selected on the basis of originality, historical significance, and feasibility of the applicant's research plan. They will receive a ticket to the SHGAPE luncheon at the Organization of American Historians meeting, where the award will be presented, and will contribute a piece about their research for SHGAPE's Blog. Applicants must submit a brief CV (5 pages maximum), a proposal of no more than 750 words with specific subheadings, an estimated budget, and graduate students must include a letter confirming Ph.D. candidacy/ABD status.
