Description
The Louisville Institute Grant for Researchers supports academic and scholarly research on North American Christianity and related fields. Its scope includes Christian faith and life, ministry practice, religious trends and movements, Christian and other faith-based institutions, and religion’s relationship to social issues. Projects that connect scholarship with the life of the North American church are of particular interest.
The program combines the Institute’s former Project and Sabbatical Grants for Researchers into one flexible grant. Individuals or teams may request support for research projects, sabbaticals or other research leave, or a combination. Funding can create time for investigation and provide research assistance, tools, travel, learning resources, and family support. Recipients are also invited into a research community through Winter Seminar, where awardees share projects and collaborate.
