The Early Stage Dissertation Grant, offered by the Economic History Association (EHA), provides funding for doctoral students in economic history who are in the early stages of their dissertation research. The grant is intended to support specific research activities, including visiting archives, transcribing data, or purchasing essential research materials. By assisting with these foundational tasks, the program aims to help emerging scholars advance their dissertation projects and make meaningful contributions to the field. Two recipients each year receive special recognition through the Cambridge University Press Early Stage Dissertation Grants.
