The LBJ Foundation awards a limited number of Moody Research Grants, underwritten by The Moody Foundation of Galveston, Texas, for research at the LBJ Library. The grants help defray living, travel, and related expenses incurred while researchers work with the library’s archival holdings. Supported work includes dissertations, theses, senior papers, publications, and other projects.
The program supports graduate students, teachers, writers, and other researchers. Proposals must clearly and precisely explain how the library’s holdings will contribute to completing the proposed project. Applications are reviewed by a special faculty committee appointed by the President of The University of Texas at Austin at the library’s request.
