American Philosophical Society--Grants for Native American Research

Phillips Fund Grants for Native American Research

The grants are provided for research in Native American linguistics and
ethnohistory, i.e., the continental United States and Canada. Grants are
not made for projects in archaeology, ethnography, psycholinguistics, or
for the preparation of pedagogical materials. The committee distinguishes 
contemporary ethnography from ethnohistory as the study of cultures and
culture change through time. The grants are intended for such extra costs
as travel, tapes, films, and informants' fees, but not for general
maintenance or the purchase of books or permanent equipment.

Eligibility: Applicants may be graduate students who have passed their
   qualifying exams for either the master's or doctorate degrees; 
   postdoctoral applicants are eligible.

Award: Maximum award of $1,500. Grants are ordinarily given for one year 
   following the date of the the award.

Deadline: No later than March 1. Requests for application forms must
   indicate the eligibility of both applicant and project; state
   whether the field of research is linguistics or ethnohistory. 
   Include a self-addressed mailing label.
