Scholarship Description
Criteria: * Applicants must be current AAR members who have been in good standing for the previous three years. (In the case of proposals involving scholars from other disciplines, not all participants need to hold AAR membership.) * Applicants will not be considered who have received an AAR Research Award in the previous five years. * Funds are not provided for dissertation research, nor for travel to attend the AAR Annual Meeting. Grant awards range from $500 to $5000. These grants provide support for important aspects of research such as travel to archives and libraries, research assistance, field work, and released time. All grant proposals (collaborative and individual) will be assessed by the AAR Research Grants Review Committee using the following criteria: 1) Clarity and focus of the research to be pursued; 2) Contribution to scholarship in a field or subfield of religion and significance of the contribution for advancing the understanding of religion or for advancing interdisciplinary discussions between religion and other humanistic and social science disciplines; 3) Adequacy of the overall work plan, including goals, objectives, and time frame for the completion of the project. Award notification letters will be sent by the end of October. Project award funds are disbursed soon thereafter. The research project expenses can be undertaken anytime within that academic year up to the end of the following calendar year. Awardees are asked to submit a brief report on the research supported by the AAR grant by the end of the next calendar year.
