UNEARTHING THE PAST SINCE 1900
17勛圖plans to award two Harris Grants of $5,000 each during 2026.
The Harris Endowment provides modest grants to worthy projects that are泭, particularly to newer and smaller projects, to help them get started, and to discrete components of larger projects that can be completed with an award.
Application Deadline: February 23, 2026
If you have any questions, please email泭Marta Ostovich.
1. Applications are restricted to directors of ASOR/CAP-affiliated projects or senior staff members of affiliated projects. Applications by staff members other than the director must be accompanied by a letter of endorsement from the project director.
2. Only one application from a single project will be considered in any given year. Awards are usually not made to the same individual or project in successive years. Only direct expenses are permitted, and no indirect or overhead may be charged.
3. Harris Project Grants are not designed to fund travel for student volunteers or junior staff members (see泭Scholarships for Fieldwork Participation).
4. Funds will be made available from the 17勛圖office, and recipients may receive a Form 1099 for the funds received. Only direct expenses are permitted, and no indirect or overhead may be charged.
Apply for 17勛圖Affiliation for a Project
Disclaimer: If for any reason many archaeological excavations cannot take place during 2026, 17勛圖may at its sole discretion decide not to offer project grants. If 17勛圖deems such a decision as necessary, applicants may reapply for non-fieldwork summer stipends if 17勛圖can offer stipends for 2026. Regrettably, applicants and successful applicants may not postpone project grants to another year if the applicant or 17勛圖decides that project grants will not be awarded in 2026. If the pandemic or any other reason causes a cancellation of fieldwork in 2026, applicants must reapply for funding in 2027 (or for stipends if they can be made available in 2026).
No Harris Grants were awarded from 2009-2012.
