POST-PHD RESEARCH GRANT

 * Doctorates in Anthropology
 * Doctorates in Related Fields
 * Independent Scholars

GENERAL

This grant program funds individual research projects undertaken by doctorates
in anthropology or a closely related field. Our goal is to support vibrant and
significant work that furthers our understanding of what it means to be human.
There is no preference for any methodology, research location, topic, or
subfield. The Foundation particularly welcomes proposals that integrate two or
more subfields and pioneer new approaches and ideas.

AWARD MONEY

The maximum Post-PhD Research Grant is $25,000. Grants are nonrenewable. There
is no limit to the duration of the grant, and applicants may request funding to
cover distinct research phases (for example, two summers) if this is part of the
research design. Wenner-Gren awards do not include funds to cover institutional
overhead or any fees related to the administration of our grants and
fellowships.

APPLICATION DEADLINE

Application deadlines are May 1 (for project start dates between January 1 and
June 30 of the following year) and November 1 (for project start dates between
July 1 and December 31 of the following year). The application portal opens 2
months before the deadline. It takes us 6 months to complete the review process
and arrive at a final decision.

WHO CAN APPLY

Doctorates in Anthropology, Doctorates in Related Fields, Independent Scholars

More information
Eligibility

Qualified scholars of any nationality or institutional affiliation are eligible.
Independent scholars and senior scholars are welcome to apply. Individuals who
are within 5 months of receiving their doctorate or equivalent degree may apply,
but they must complete their degree before the start date listed on their
application form.

Most grantees must fulfill all the requirements of their existing award and
submit their final report before applying for a new award. But if you have a
Conference and Workshop Grant, a Global Initiatives Grant, or a Historical
Archives Program grant, you are welcome to apply; if so, please contact us for
more information if this situation applies.

Unsuccessful applicants are welcome to reapply. But as part of their
resubmission, they must explain how they have addressed the reviewers’ concerns,
along with any changes to their plans.

Evaluation Criteria

Our reviewers assess the quality of the proposed research, its potential
contribution to anthropological knowledge, and its adherence to the principles
articulated in our mission, including a commitment to fostering an inclusive
vision of anthropology. We expect applicants to draw inspiration from a broad
range of scholarship, including relevant work in English and other languages.
Please refer to “Motion of the 32nd RBA: Diversify Information and Education
about the Global Anthropologies of Foreign Researchers and Anthropology
Students.”

Successful proposals have the following features:

 * A well-defined research question
 * A detailed description of the evidence that will be sought
 * A feasible plan for gathering and analyzing this evidence
 * A discussion of the applicant’s qualifications to carry out the research
 * A compelling account of the project’s potential to advance anthropological
   knowledge and transform debates in the field.

Applicants whose research is oriented toward primatology or primate conservation
must demonstrate the broader anthropological relevance of their work. The
Foundation supports work on language structure and endangered languages, but
only when it is grounded in anthropological concerns.

Application Procedures

To present your project in the best possible light, please follow all
instructions for completing your application. Use all the available space to
describe your project. If you have questions, contact us at
applications@wennergren.org or (+1) 212.683.5000.

The application asks for the following:

 * General information about you and your project
 * An abstract of your proposed project
 * Answers to six questions about your project
 * A resubmission statement if we declined a Post-PhD Research Grant application
   previously
 * A detailed Plan A budget (Covid-19 best-case scenario)
 * A detailed Plan B budget (Covid-19 worst-case scenario)
 * A bibliography relevant to your proposed project.

The application also asks you to list the permits and permissions required for
the proposed project, with the estimated dates by which you expect to secure
them. However, please do not submit these documents with your application. If
your application is successful, we will request copies of all relevant materials
when we notify you of your award.

Applications must be in English. Applicants must submit all forms and other
required materials online. If you don’t have adequate internet access to use our
system, please contact us at least 1 week before the deadline and we’ll help
arrange an alternative method. The online portal opens for applications 2 months
before the application deadline.

Before submitting your application, please refer to the U.S. tax information on
our website. Non-U.S. applicants should read the information on visa
requirements for non-U.S. citizens present or coming to the U.S. as part of
their project.

The Foundation requires successful applicants to comply with all U.S. laws.
These include but are not limited to regulations governed by the U.S. Department
of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), which administers
U.S. government sanctions programs and regulations relating to the Specially
Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN List). Please see the OFAC
Guidelines page on our website and consult the U.S. Department of the Treasury
for more information.

In compliance with OFAC regulations, the Foundation requires special
documentation for projects located in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela,
Crimea (including Sevastopol), the Donetsk People’s Republic and Luhansk
People’s Republic regions of Ukraine, and Russia. The Foundation does not
require this documentation at the application stage, but we must receive it
before we can release funds.

Please do not send any other materials beyond what the application requests. Do
not send transcripts, letters of reference, manuscripts, publications,
photographs, or recordings. We will not use this material in the review process,
and we cannot return it to you.
