Description
The American Academy of Religion (AAR) offers Individual Research Grants to support important parts of research projects, including fieldwork and travel to archives and libraries. The grants help scholars pursue focused work that contributes to a field or subfield of religion.
Projects may advance understanding of religion or interdisciplinary discussion between religion and other humanistic and social science disciplines. AAR assesses the clarity and focus of the research, the significance of its contribution, and whether the work plan sets out adequate goals, objectives, and a time frame.
