Applications for Anthropological Research Grants
The Wenner-Gren Foundation is committed to playing a leadership role in anthropology and works to help anthropologists advance anthropological knowledge, build sustainable careers, and amplify the impact of anthropology on the broader world.
To that end, the foundation invites applications for its Post-PhD Research grants program. Through the program, grants of up to $25,000 will be awarded to support individual research projects undertaken by doctorates in anthropology or a closely related field. The program's goal is to support vibrant and significant work that furthers the understanding of what it means to be human. There is no preference for any methodology, research location, topic, or subfield, and the foundation welcomes proposals that integrate two or more subfields and pioneer new approaches and ideas.
Applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent degree and may apply regardless of institutional affiliation, country of residence, or nationality. There is no time limit on the grant duration, and funding may be requested to cover distinct research phases (for example, two summers) if this is part of the research design.
For complete program guidelines and application instructions, see the Wenner-Gren Foundation website.
