RESEARCH GRANTS


ELIGIBILITY

Advanced doctoral students (advanced to candidacy – all but dissertation) and
established scientists are eligible for Leakey Foundation Research Grants. There
are no citizenship restrictions; however, all applications must be written in
English.


FUNDING

The Leakey Foundation exclusively funds research related to human origins.
Priority of funding is commonly given to exploratory phases of promising new
research projects that meet the stated purpose of the Foundation. The majority
of The Leakey Foundation’s Research Grants awarded to doctoral students are in
the $3,000-$15,000 range with a funding limit of $20,000. Larger grants given to
senior scientists and post-doctoral researchers may be funded up to $30,000. As
of May 2022, the funding limits have increased to $20,000 for PhD candidates and
$30,000 for senior scientists and post-doctoral researchers.


DEADLINES

The deadlines for research grant applications are January 10th and July 15th.
All submissions and resubmissions are due on these dates. We occasionally make
exceptions to our application deadline. If you are experiencing extenuating
circumstances that you believe would preclude you from meeting the deadline,
please contact us at grants@leakeyfoundation.org.  We will consider such
requests on a case-by-case basis. 

> *New Requirement 
> 
> In light of potential short and long term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, it
> is important to have formal contingency plans for your proposed project.
> Please describe in up to one page your plans for adjusting this project if
> needed. Changes could include modified start dates for travel, fieldwork or
> data collection, alternative data collection strategies, alternative field
> sites, or alternative methods for recruitment and engagement of participants,
> as well as any other potential modifications to research and development
> activities (including IRB/IACUC approvals/changes).
> 
> Please include this document as a PDF attachment to your proposal. You may
> upload the PDF as a “COVID Contingency Plan.” This document will not count
> against the two page supplemental attachment limit. 

> *New Policy
> 
> Investigators may only submit one proposal as a principle investigator (PI)
> per granting cycle. This policy does not apply to co-investigators. For
> example, you may be the PI on one proposal as well as a co-investigator on
> another.

PLEASE CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING IF YOU ARE THINKING OF APPLYING FOR A LEAKEY
FOUNDATION RESEARCH GRANT:

 * Is my research relevant to human origins and evolution?
 * For PhD candidates: Will I be advanced to candidacy (all but dissertation)
   before the deadline for application?
 * Am I affiliated with an academic or research institution?
 * We do not award funds to individuals.
 * Am I fully compliant on all prior Leakey Foundation awards?


HOW TO APPLY

Please use the detailed application instructions as well as the application
guidelines and FAQs to prepare the attachments that you will upload to your new
