American Philosophical Society--Research Grant Programs

Grants are for research only. The Society makes no grants for study, 
salary replacement, travel to conferences, workshops or to consult with
other scholars, for permanent equipment, or assistance with publication 
or translation. The purpose is to put scholars in contact with the objects
of their research. Applicants may be residents of the U.S., American
citizens on the staff of foreign institutions, or foreign nationals whose
research can only be carried out in the United States. Grants are for
individuals; institutions are not eligible to apply.
