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. Four hard copies of these materials should be sent to the SAA office along with (4) one letter of reference enclosed in a sealed envelope, signed across the flap by the author of the letter.

Applications must be received by 1 November at the following address: The Shakespeare Association of America, Research Travel Grants, Department of English, Georgetown University, 37th and O Streets, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20057-1131.

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.
