Description
Support for Research Projects is a category within the Wenner-Gren Foundation’s grants and fellowships, rather than a single award. Its research programs include Dissertation Fieldwork Grants, Post-PhD Research Grants, and Engaged Research Grants. The Foundation supports innovative and ethical research worldwide, seeking to advance anthropological knowledge, amplify its impact, foster inclusivity, and address the precariousness of anthropology as a career and field of study.
The Foundation recognizes socio-cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, biological anthropology, and archeology, including their equivalents in countries where these fields have different names. Its revised policies emphasize applicants’ connections to anthropology and encourage them to consider the publics their work should and can reach. Eligibility and application requirements also depend on the individual research program.
