The Wenner-Gren Foundation is committed to playing a leadership role in anthropology. We help anthropologists advance anthropological knowledge, build sustainable careers, and amplify the impact of anthropology within the wider world. We dedicate ourselves to broadening the conversation in anthropology to reflect the full diversity of the field.
The Wenner-Gren Foundation's grant program aims to support significant and innovative research in anthropology that explores humanity's biological and cultural origins, development, and variation. It encourages the creation of an international community of research scholars and leadership development within the discipline. Specifically, the Post-Ph.D. Research Grants support individual projects by doctorate holders in anthropology or related fields, with no preference for methodology, research location, topic, or subfield. The program is open to projects that integrate various subfields, pioneer new approaches, and are vibrant and significant contributions to understanding human existence. Grants offer up to $25,000, are nonrenewable, and cover any project phase without duration limits.
