Description
The Honor Frost Foundation’s Large Grants programme supports maritime archaeological projects in the eastern Mediterranean. It places high-quality regional research alongside the development of skills, capacity, and partnerships that strengthen the regional research environment. The Foundation seeks interconnected activities that deliver multiple benefits, linking research with training and collaboration rather than treating them as separate priorities.
Projects should demonstrate the originality and significance of their work for understanding and protecting maritime archaeology. Raising the profile, visibility, and value of marine cultural heritage is also a central aim. Applications can address any maritime archaeology topic in the target region, with particular research and methodological priorities outlined below.
