These awards provide recipients with time to write, to travel, and to conduct research and other project-related activities. Projects are eligible at any stage. This program offers applicants flexibility in project outcomes and award periods.
The 2026 Awards for Faculty competition will accept only projects for research in American history and culture and Western civilization.
