About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grants through its Archaeology Program. This grant opportunity seeks to fund anthropologically relevant archaeological research that has the potential to contribute to the field of anthropology. The program supports a wide range of research approaches, including field research, analysis of archaeological materials, and methodological projects that develop analytical techniques. Applicants are responsible for explaining the significance of their proposed research and its potential to advance anthropological knowledge. The evaluation criteria will prioritize the anthropological relevance and innovation of the proposed research. The deadline for this opportunity is not specified in the provided information.
Awards under this grant program typically range from $30,000 to $500,000, with project periods spanning 1-5 years. The research performance is expected to primarily occur at academic and research institutions across the United States, as the grants are intended to support doctoral dissertation research.
Synopsis
The Archaeology Program supports anthropologically relevant archaeological research. This means that the value of the proposed research can be justified within an anthropological context. The Program sets no priorities by either geographic region or time period. It also has no priorities in regard to theoretical orientation or question and it is the responsibility of the applicant to explain convincingly why these are significant and have the potential to contribute to anthropological knowledge. While the Program, in order to encourage innovative research, neither limits nor defines specific categories of research type, most applications either request funds for field research and/or the analysis of archaeological material through multiple approaches. The Program also supports methodological projects which develop analytic techniques of potential archaeological value.
