APARRI Research Grants: Up to $30,000 each award

Deadline: 15-Nov-22

The Asia Pacific American Religions Research Initiative (APARRI) Research Grant is now open for applications to support scholarship that advances the scholarly and public knowledge of Asian Pacific American religions.

The ultimate goal of the project should be a scholarly work by the applicant, which can take the form of a monograph, article, dissertation, digital research project, critical edition, or other scholarly resources. The grant supports projects at any stage of development. This grant does not fund works of fiction (e.g., novels or films), textbooks, translation, or pedagogical projects.

APARRI strives to create a robust intellectual community; therefore, all grant awardees are required to fully participate in at least one APARRI conference within the grant period to share their project activities and/or present a summary of their deliverables. Grantees may include the cost of attending the APARRI conference in their funding requests.

Funds can be used to complete an entire project, to provide seed money to start a larger project, or to accomplish smaller tasks of a larger project.

Funding Information

The maximum amount of each award is $30,000. Due to the competitive selection process, the final amount awarded may vary and may not match the requested amount. Most grants will be between $5,000 to $15,000.
