Wenner-Gren Dissertation Fieldwork Grant — November 2026

Supports doctoral research advancing anthropological knowledge across sociocultural, linguistic and biological anthropology and archaeology. Any methodology and research location may be proposed. Nonrenewable awards provide up to US$25,000 for essential research expenses, with no institutional overhead. The November 2026 round supports projects starting between July and December 2027; the open application form confirms this research window. Research may span multiple phases.

Applicants must be enrolled in a doctoral programme and connected to anthropology through their programme, a prior anthropology degree, or a supervisor with a PhD in anthropology. All degree requirements other than the dissertation must be completed before the project begins. Any nationality and institutional affiliation may apply. Existing awards must be completed; only one application may be under review. Applicants may apply only once per year, with one resubmission allowed.
