APARRI Research Grants

Asia Pacific American Religions Research Initiative

Deadline: November 15

The Asia Pacific American Religions Research Initiative (APARRI) Research Grant supports scholarship that advances the scholarly and public knowledge of Asian Pacific American religions. We invite applications from scholars pursuing research on Asian Pacific American religions across all disciplines; this includes social sciences, humanities, theology, and interdisciplinary work. For the 2024-25 grant cycle, we are especially interested in supporting projects that offer a comparative or inter-religious/racial/ethnic lens, focus on underrepresented groups in the field (e.g. Pacific Islanders, South Asian Americans, Sikhs, Hindus, etc.), or proposals from junior scholars.

The ultimate goal of the project should be a scholarly work by the applicant, which can take the form of a monograph, article, dissertation, digital research project, critical edition, or other scholarly resources. The grant supports projects at any stage of development. This grant does not fund works of fiction (e.g., novels or films), textbooks, translation, or pedagogical projects.

The maximum amount of each award:

• $25,000: Full-time Faculty and Lecturers
• $10,000: Graduate students | Independent Scholars | Postdoctoral Scholars | Part-time Faculty and Lecturers
