Funding
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grants (DDRIG) are grant awards for doctoral students to improve the quality of dissertation research. These grants provide $12,000 - $20,000 in funds to undertake significant data-gathering projects and to conduct field research in settings away from their campus that would not otherwise be possible. Deadline to apply is January 15, 2019.
The primary objective of the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Cultural Anthropology Program is to support basic scientific research on the causes, consequences, and complexities of human social and cultural variability. Recognizing the breadth of the field's contributions to science, the Cultural Anthropology Program welcomes proposals for empirically grounded, theoretically engaged, and methodologically sophisticated research in all sub-fields of cultural anthropology. See website for a detailed list of research priorities.

DEADLINE
âThe grant application deadline is January 15, 2019.
