Open The objective of this program is to encourage the preservation of unpublished records and other materials of value for research on the history of anthropology. A condition of awards is that copies of the audio or video record of interviews be deposited in the Foundation's archives. Applicants must present a proposal describing the significance of the subject for the history of anthropology, the topics to be covered, and the interviewers qualification. There are no citizenship requirements for application.
Qualified scholars are eligible without regard to nationality or institutional affiliation.
Applicants must hold the doctorate at the time of application. Priority is given to those projects involving at least one principal investigator from outside North America and Western Europe, but other international collaborations will be considered. Initial contact should be by means of a letter of inquiry. The Foundation particularly invites projects employing comparative perspectives or integrating two or more subfields of anthropology. The grant is intended to cover research expenses directly related to the project, such as travel, equipment, research assistance and living expenses during fieldwork.
