Scholarship
Description:
Post-Ph.D. Research Grants are awarded to individuals holding a Ph.D. or
equivalent degree to support individual research projects. The program
contributes to the Foundation’s overall mission to support basic research in
anthropology and to ensure that the discipline continues to be a source of
vibrant and significant work that furthers our understanding of humanity’s
cultural and biological origins, development, and variation. The Foundation
supports research that demonstrates a clear link to anthropological theory and
debates, and promises to make a solid contribution to advancing these ideas.
There is no preference for any methodology, research location, or subfield. The
Foundation particularly welcomes proposals that employ a comparative
perspective, can generate innovative approaches or ideas, and/or integrate two
or more subfields.

Selection
Criteria: As
with all Wenner-Gren awards, the main criteria of evaluation are the quality of
the research and its potential contribution to anthropological knowledge,
theory, and debate. There is no preference for particular geographic areas or
topics. Proposals whose primary objective is to “fill in” knowledge about a
culture, a region, a language, a site, or a primate species will not be
competitive unless a further case can be made for the importance of this
finding to broader issues in anthropology.
