Description
The Honor Frost Foundation’s Medium Grants support maritime archaeology in the Eastern Mediterranean. The Foundation’s primary regional focus is Cyprus, Lebanon and Syria, where underwater archaeologist Honor Frost worked. The programme supports high-quality regional research alongside activities that strengthen the skills, capacity and partnerships needed to develop the regional research environment.
Projects may also connect activities to achieve multiple benefits or raise the profile, visibility and value of marine cultural heritage. These priorities guide assessment of both the research itself and its contribution to the wider discipline and region. Funding is increasingly competitive, with a limited number of applications supported in each cycle. The Foundation’s trustees award grants to applications they judge to be of the highest quality.
