The American Historical Association (AHA) awards research grants and annual meeting grants to advance the study of history across diverse subjects. Its research grants cover expenses associated with historical work, including travel to libraries or archives, reproduction costs, hiring a researcher, borrowing or access fees, and other expenses such as childcare. Named grants address European, African, Asian, Western Hemisphere, LGBTQ+, US legal, and American colonial history.
Annual meeting grants help historians and teachers attend a gathering intended to foster professional networks, strengthen teaching, share research, and discuss issues affecting the discipline. The AHA lists travel and childcare grants for different groups of attendees.
