Response due Aug 17, 2026 · 00:00 UTC

Summary

The U.S. National Science Foundation's Cultural Anthropology Program is soliciting senior research award applications through Grants.gov. This is a federal grant opportunity (synopsis/program solicitation number 25-502) open to senior researchers in the field of cultural anthropology. The opportunity has an extended open window running from October 2024 through August 2026, suggesting a standing/rolling solicitation for research funding.

How they evaluate

Submission: Grants.gov federal grants portal

Risks & flags

  • Solicitation is restricted to 'senior' researchers, which may limit eligibility and narrow the applicant pool
  • Extended two-year open window is atypical and may reflect a standing program rather than a competitive one-time award — scope and award size are entirely unstated
