Franklin Research Grants of the American Philosophical Society

Since 1933 the American Philosophical Society has awarded small grants to scholars in order to support the cost of research leading to publication in all areas of knowledge. The Franklin program is particularly designed to help meet the costs of travel to libraries and archives for research purposes; the purchase of microfilm, photocopies, or equivalent research materials; the costs associated with fieldwork; or laboratory research expenses. Funding is offered up to a maximum of $6,000 for use in calendar year 2008. Grants are not retroactive.

Deadline for March 2008 decistions is December 1, 2007. For more information, see http://www.amphilsoc.org/grants/franklin.htm.
