The Foundation particularly invites projects employing comparative perspectives or integrating two or more subfields of anthropology. A small number of awards is available for projects designed to develop resources for anthropological research and scholarly exchange. The Foundation, under its Small Grants Program, offers Regular Grants and Predoctoral Grants. Regular Grants are awarded to individual scholars holding the doctorate or equivalent qualification in anthropology or a related discipline.
Qualified scholars are eligible without regard to nationality or institutional affiliation.
Application for Regular Grants may be made by the scholar either as an individual or on behalf of an organization.
