Description
The Joe D. Seger Project Grants, administered by the American Society of Overseas Research (ASOR), provide targeted financial support to directors of ASOR-affiliated archaeological excavation projects. Established in 2016, these grants are intended to help newer and smaller projects get started or to fund specific, discrete components of larger projects that can be completed with a single award. The Seger Endowment encourages leveraging additional funding by requiring recipients to secure matching funds, thereby helping principal investigators address critical research needs while enhancing their ability to attract further support.
