Research Grants
The Pragmatism Archive is pleased to announce that research grants continue to be available for scholars. Two categories of grants are now available: for doctoral research by graduate students, and for post-doctoral research by holders of the Ph.D. who do not have a tenure-track position. Each grant will be up to $500, for any type of expenditure involved in the visit. Previous research grant recipients are listed below.
Grant applications are now being accepted. The typical visit lasts 4-10 days, although longer visits are encouraged.
The grants will be awarded for the pursuit of a research project on the basis of two criteria:
1. The potential of the project (dissertation, article, book, etc.) for significantly advancing the understanding of the history or current issues of pragmatism.
2. How the resources of the Pragmatism Archive fit the research project proposed.
Applicants should compose a letter of intent to visit the Archive. The letter should include a discussion of the project's aims and the research to be undertaken, and a tentative schedule of possible dates for the visit. Researchers are welcome to visit the Archive regardless of grant status, and we would try to locate another funding source at OSU to assist with travel, accommodations, etc.

intent to:
