Early American Industries Association Research Grants Program

Eligibility

Early American Industries Association Research Grants Program, with an application deadline in March, offers numerous awards of $3000 each.

Description

The Early American Industries Association supports projects related to its mission to preserve and present historic trades, crafts, and tools, and the interpretation of their impact on our lives. The project must relate to the purpose of the EAIA. One of the grants may be available for supporting active conservation, public demonstrations, or educational programming by historic sites that hold 501 (c) 3 non-profit status. Successful applicants will be required to file a report on the project. The report must include a statement of expenditures and must be filed with the committee by March 15th of the year following the grant. An abstract of the grantee's research must be furnished with a report within 60 days of the scheduled completion of the funded work. Within a year of completion, grantees will submit an article reflecting the research for publication in The Chronicle (quarterly journal) or Shavings (quarterly newsletter) of the EAIA. One copy of the final form of the completed project must be deposited with the Research Grants Committee, whether or not the final form is published. Official acknowledgment of the support of EAIA must be listed in any published material connected with the project. A research grant may be used to supplement existing fellowships, scholarships, or other forms of aid. Applicants are asked to give the names and addresses of their local newspapers so the Research Grants Committee can announce new grant recipients. Three recommendation letters are required for the application. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
