Description
The American Academy for Jewish Research (AAJR) provides dissertation research grants to Ph.D. students working in any field of Jewish studies. The program supports students with a demonstrated need to consult archival, library, or manuscript collections or to conduct ethnographic research for their dissertations.
The grants address practical research needs, including travel, consultation of collections, visits to research sites, and the purchase of copied or scanned source materials. Funding is directed toward research-related expenses rather than language study or equipment. Professor Elissa Bemporad chairs the program’s review committee.
