conference and workshop grants are for amounts up to $20,000. in accordance with the mission of the foundation, priority is given to events that foster the creation of an international community of research scholars in anthropology and advance significant and innovative anthropological research.

conferences are defined as public events that are comprised primarily of oral and poster presentations to a larger audience of anthropologists. priority is given to major conferences sponsored by large international anthropological organizations (e.g., the european association of social anthropologists, european anthropological association, pan african anthropological association, and latin american anthropological association) that serve as their annual or periodic meetings. the majority of the funds granted to such conferences is expected to be used towards expenses for international scholars who are making presentations at the conference and would not otherwise be able to attend.

workshops are defined as working meetings that focus on developing and debating topical issues in theoretical anthropology. workshops involve a small group of scholars who meet for a sufficient period of time to deal intensively with the topic. priority is given to those workshops that devote the majority of time to discussion and debate rather than to the presentation of papers. it is expected that workshops will result in a publication.
