Cultural Anthropology Program Senior Research Awards (CA-SR)

The Cultural Anthropology Program Senior Research Awards opportunity is sponsored by the U.S. National Science Foundation. The primary objective of this program is to support fundamental, systematic anthropological research and training to increase understanding of the causes, consequences, and complexities of human social and cultural variability. The program welcomes proposals from researchers in all sub-fields of cultural anthropology and research at any temporal or spatial scale. 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. • The program cannot support research that takes as its primary objective improved clinical practice, applied policy, or other immediate application. • 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, and the number of awards is expected to be around 40.
