Description
The William Appleman Williams Emerging Scholar Research Grants are offered annually by the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations (SHAFR) to promote scholarly research in U.S. foreign relations. The program supports scholars working on their first research monograph, helping defray travel costs necessary to conduct significant scholarly projects.
Funding supports research travel both within the United States and internationally. The grants are directed toward the research underlying a first book, with travel assistance providing practical support for that work. A limited number of awards are made each year, and recipients are recognized at SHAFR’s annual conference.
