Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research  

The objective is to support research in all branches of anthropology;
including cultural/social anthropology, ethnology, biological/physical
anthropology, archeology, and anthropological linguistics, and in closely
related disciplines concerned with human origins, development and
variation.
						
Individual Small Grants Program: Grants for amounts up to $20,000 are
available for basic research in all branches of anthropology. Grants are 
made to seed innovative approaches and ideas, to cover specific expenses
or phases of a project, and/or to encourage aid from other funding agencies. 
The Foundation particularly invites projects employing comparative 
perspectives or intergrating two or more subfields of anthropology. A small 
number of awards are available for projects designed to develop resources 
for anthropological research and scholarly exchange.

Regular Grants are awarded to individual scholars who hold a doctorate or 
equivalent, in anthropology or a related discipline. Qualified scholars
are eligible without regard to nationality or institutional affiliation. 
Application may be made by the scholar either as an individual or on
behalf of an organization.

	Predoctoral Grants are awarded to individuals to aid doctoral
	dissertation or thesis research. Applicants must be enrolled in a 
	doctoral degree program. Qualified students of all nationalities
	are eligible.

	Richard Carley Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowships are available to
	scholars within five years of receipt of the doctorate, to aid the
	write-up of research results for publication. Qualified scholars
	of all nationalities are eligible. A maximum amount of $15,000 is 
	available.

Deadlines: There are two deadlines each year, May 1 and November 1. For
    applications submitted by the May 1 deadline, funding will be
    available the following January. Under the November 1 deadline,
    funding will be available the following July.
