Description
The Botstiber Institute for Austrian-American Studies (BIAAS), an institute of the Botstiber Foundation, supports research and projects that promote understanding of the historic relationship between the United States and Austria, including Habsburg Austria. Eligible fields include history, politics, economics, law, and cultural studies. Funding can support on-site research at archives or other facilities holding historical documents, as well as books, dissertations, exhibits, and media projects.
Proposals should explain the work’s significance for Austrian-American studies and its value to scholars or general audiences. Research may take place wherever the project requires, including outside Austria and the United States. BIAAS also encourages proposals that promote grantees’ work, including interest in contributing to its Austrian-American Blog Series, The Botstiber Podcast, or the Journal of Austrian-American History.
