The American Philosophical Society is inviting applications for its Lewis and Clark Fund for Exploration and Field Research grants program. Through the program, grants of up to $5,000 will be awarded to doctoral students in support of travel and related expenses (including equipment) for the field collection of specimens and data and to provide the imaginative stimulus that accompanies direct observation. Proposals that are archival in nature or museum based are not normally be considered.
Dissertation Fieldwork Grants are awarded to aid doctoral or thesis research. The program contributes to the Foundation's overall mission to support basic research in anthropology and to ensure that the discipline continues to be a source of vibrant and significant work that furthers our understanding of humanity's cultural and biological origins, development, and variation. The Foundation supports research that demonstrates a clear link to anthropological theory and debates, and promises to make a solid contribution to advancing these ideas.
The foundation is inviting applications for its Post-PhD Research Grants program. Through the program, grants of up to $20,000 will be awarded in support of research that demonstrates a clear link to anthropological theory and debate and promises to make a solid contribution to advancing the field. The foundation has no preference for methodology, research location, or subfield and welcomes proposals that employ a comparative perspective, can generate an innovative approach or idea, and/or integrate two or more subfields.

The Mellon Emerging Faculty Leaders Award supports tenure-track faculty who have passed their midpoint review. The award is structured to free the time of junior faculty who have passed their midpoint tenure review—including those from underrepresented groups and others committed to eradicating disparities in their fields—so that they can both engage in and build support systems, networks, and affinity groups that make their fields and campuses more inclusive. Eligible applicants must have passed their third-year review or their institution’s equivalent.
