Apply now for the New England Historical Association Research Travel Grant. We recognize how challenging it can be to obtain funding for historical research. We give one grant each year for up to $1250 to meet the costs of travel and research at libraries, archives, museums, parks, and other historical sites. The grant will be awarded in February 2025. Those eligible to apply must be an active NEHA member for at least four years, who have not previously been awarded this grant, proposing valid academic research that requires the applicant to travel to access relevant materials (including public history projects). Current Board members are not eligible.

If you want to confirm your NEHA membership status or eligibility, please email the Executive Secretary (neha.execsec@gmail.com). The grant should be used within the calendar year in which it is awarded. Grant recipients will be expected to present initial findings from their work at a NEHA conference within two years of conducting the research, and to acknowledge the grant in any scholarly publications resulting from it.

The deadline for the 2025 application season is November 1, 2024.

To apply: complete the NEHA-ResearchGrant-CoverSheet.2025, 500-750 word project statement, C.V., and budget for use of the grant funds.

Submit your application to the committee ℅ NEHA Executive Secretary Tona Hangen at email: neha.execsec@gmail.com.
