Description
The Stevan B. Dana Project Grants, offered by the American Society of Overseas Research (ASOR), provide annual funding to support archaeological excavation projects that are affiliated with ASOR. These grants are specifically designed to help newer and smaller field projects get started, as well as to fund discrete components of larger projects that can be completed with the award. The grants may be used for purchasing essential equipment, supporting smaller-scale initiatives, or conducting off-season research and analysis. The program aims to strengthen the capacity and impact of archaeological research under the ASOR umbrella.
