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. 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. 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. Aside from the other application materials required, applicants must answer the six questions about their project in the application. The application also asks applicants to list the permits and permissions required for the proposed project, with the estimated dates by which they expect to secure them. However, please do not submit these documents with the application. If the application is successful, copies of all relevant materials will be requested when the applicants are notified of their award. 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. Please visit the award's website or contact the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research for more information.
