The Foundation particularly invites projects employing comparative perspectives or intergrating two or more subfields of anthropology. A small number of awards are available for projects designed to develop resources for anthropological research and scholarly exchange. Regular Grants are awarded to individual scholars who hold a doctorate or equivalent, in anthropology or a related discipline.
Qualified scholars are eligible without regard to nationality or institutional affiliation.
Application may be made by the scholar either as an individual or on behalf of an organization. Predoctoral Grants are awarded to individuals to aid doctoral dissertation or thesis research. Applicants must be enrolled in a doctoral degree program. Qualified students of all nationalities are eligible. Richard Carley Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowships are available to scholars within five years of receipt of the doctorate, to aid the write-up of research results for publication.
