Description
The Association for the Study of the Middle East and Africa (ASMEA) Travel Grant Program helps researchers cover the costs of presenting their work at its Annual Conference in Washington, D.C. The program primarily supports Ph.D. students, postdoctoral researchers, and junior faculty studying the Middle East or Africa, while its eligibility guidelines also include qualifying visiting, associate, and full professors.
Proposals may come from any academic discipline but must represent new, unpublished research relevant to ASMEA’s areas of study. Travel support is tied to conference participation: successful applicants must present in person, and every grant submission is also considered for the conference’s general Call for Papers, regardless of whether a grant is awarded.
