Research Travel Grants

The SAA announces a program of research travel grants for non-tenured scholars, including adjunct and limited-term faculty, lecturers, instructors, independent scholars, and tenure-track postdoctoral scholars who have received their degrees in the last five years. These grants are designed to fund travel to libraries and other appropriate sites for research work in the field of early modern studies. Applicants must be members in good standing of the SAA.

Applications should include: (1) a description of the research project, maximum 400 words; (2) an abbreviated curriculum vitae, maximum 400 words; (3) a proposed budget, maximum $1,000 USD. One letter of reference should be sent directly to the SAA from the e-mail address of the reference writer. All materials should be sent as email attachments to shakespeare@georgetown.edu by 15 October 2011.

Awards will be announced by 1 January of the following year and must be used during that calendar year. At the conclusion of research travel, or by 1 January of the next year at the latest, award winners are asked to submit receipts and make a brief report of work completed in the grant period.

Travel grants are underwritten by the SAA’s Annual Fund.
