INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT GRANT FROM THE WENNER-GREN FOUNDATION FOR ANTHROPOLOGICAL RESEARCH

The Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research will continue its Institutional Development Grant (IDG) after its launch in 2008. The IDG is intended to strengthen (or to support the development of) anthropological doctoral programs in countries where the discipline is underrepresented. The grant provides $25,000 per year, is renewable for a maximum of five years (total support of $125,000), and may be used for any purpose to achieve the academic development goals of the applicant department.

The deadline for the full application is April 1, 2009. Awards will be announced by September 2009 for programs beginning in January 2010.

Our fine motor control prevents great feats of strength, but allows us to perform delicate and uniquely human tasks.
