The Cultural Anthropology Program Senior Research Awards opportunity, funded by the National Science Foundation, aims to support fundamental, systematic anthropological research and training to increase understanding of human social and cultural variability. The program welcomes proposals from researchers in all sub-fields of cultural anthropology and at any temporal or spatial scale. The research goals should produce empirically grounded findings that contribute to building a more robust anthropological science of human society and culture. Some key aspects of this opportunity include: • The program supports theory-generating and theory-testing research that creates new knowledge about human culture and society. • Research that seeks to advance scientific cultural anthropological theories in a way that advances use-inspired objectives may be supported. • Proposals may only be submitted by non-profit, non-academic organizations, institutions of higher education, and tribal nations. • The estimated funding for this opportunity is $4,000,000, with 40 awards expected.
