The Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum offers competitive conference travel grants as part of its Broadening Academia Initiative. These grants are designed to enable North American-based Holocaust scholars who are untenured, contingent, or working outside academia to attend professional conferences where they will present original research on Holocaust-related topics. The program aims to foster the production and dissemination of new Holocaust scholarship, particularly by supporting scholars who may have fewer institutional resources.
