The Joe D. Seger Project Grants, administered by the American Society of Overseas Research (ASOR), provide targeted support for ASOR-affiliated archaeological excavation projects. Established in 2016, these grants are designed to help newer and smaller fieldwork projects get started or to fund discrete components of larger projects that can be completed with the award. The program aims to help principal investigators (PIs) secure matching funds and address essential needs in their fieldwork.
