The deadline is fast approaching to apply for a
research grant from the
American Historical Association. Of special interest to legal historians is the
Littleton-Griswold Grant (see below). From the AHA website:
Each year, the American Historical Association awards several
research grants with the aim of advancing the study and exploration of
history in a diverse number of subject areas. All grants are offered
annually and are intended to further research in progress. Grants may
be used for travel to a library or archive; microfilming, photography,
or photocopying; borrowing or access fees; and similar research
expenses—a list of purposes that is meant to be merely illustrative, not
exhaustive (other expenses, such as child care, can be included). The
deadline for research grant applications is February 15.
Eligibility: Only AHA members are
eligible to apply for AHA research grants; you must be logged in to view
the specific grant pages linked below. Preference will be
given to advanced doctoral students, nontenured faculty, and
unaffiliated scholars and to those with specific research needs such as
the completion of a project or discrete segment thereof. Please note:
Within a five-year period, no individual is eligible to receive more
than a combined total of $1,000 from all AHA research grants.
For questions, please contact the Prize Administrator.
