| grant writing and funding resources There are many potential sources for anthropology (and other social science) graduate student funding. There are grants and fellowships for study, pre-dissertation, and dissertation research, both within the university and without. There are several sites that provide information about grants and funding, as well as information on how to apply, what to do etc. Rather than repeat this information, I provide links to those resources. advice on grant writing Before you look at funding agencies, I recommend you look at the comprehensive guide to dissertation proposal and grant writing by Michael Watts at Berkeley. funding resources within UMN University of Minnesota Graduate Fellowship Office (this site has some of the resources listed below, but also some specific to Minnesota and U of M) funding resources external to UMN A comprehensive list of funding resources is available at the Stanford U. Dept of Social and Cultural Anthropology's Grant Proposal Resource Guide. You should explore this whole site, making sure you check out the comprehensive Extramural Funding Sources page (which also includes a handly deadline calender), and the Identifying Funding Sources page which has a fantastic list of funding databases you should explore. In addition, I include some of the primary agencies to which you will likely apply for your dissertation fieldwork (some of which aren't on the Stanford site): Wenner Gren Foundation Fulbright-Hayes Research Institute for the Study of Man (RISM) Spencer Foundation (education) Social Science Research Council (SSRC) American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) National Science Foundation (NSF): NSF offers graduate student support at several different stages of your career: NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (for students in their early years of grad school) NSF Dissertation Research Grants |
