Description
The Wenner-Gren Foundation's Engaged Research Grant is designed to support enduring, collaborative research partnerships in anthropology that empower individuals and communities who have historically been the subjects of anthropological inquiry. This program aims to foster projects where community interlocutors are not only research participants but also active partners in shaping research questions, gathering data, sharing skills, and communicating findings. The grant emphasizes addressing inequality, expanding anthropological knowledge, and enhancing community well-being through engaged, partnership-driven research. Projects should demonstrate meaningful, transformative outcomes for both research participants and the broader community, and prioritize collaborations with those who have experienced marginalization.
