The National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grants through its Archaeology Program, aimed at supporting anthropologically relevant archaeological research. Proposals may only be submitted by accredited institutions of higher education in the U.S. on behalf of their doctoral students, with the dissertation advisor serving as the principal investigator. This program encourages innovative research without geographic or theoretical limitations, focusing on field research, analysis of archaeological materials, and the development of new analytic techniques. The estimated total program funding is $800,000, with an award ceiling of $25,000 and approximately 40 awards expected. Proposals are accepted anytime, and interested applicants can reach out to NSF grants.gov support at grantsgovsupport@nsf.gov for assistance.
