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. If you are in a difficult financial situation or are going to begin a new job in the near future, you may want to consider the possibility of funding a PhD program through government grants. Once the advisors of the funding agencies approve the proposal, the candidate is expected to write and submit the dissertation as part of the submission process. Awards for Dissertation Grants are up to $25, for 1year projects. The budget must include funds to attend the AERA Annual Meeting. The funds can be used for research-related expenses such as tuition, living expenses, travel to secure data enclaves or scholarly conferences, books, computer equipment, and other expenses directly related to conducting this research.
