The History of Economics Society is pleased to announce a new call for 
proposals under the Early-Career Scholars Research Fund program 
(deadline December 1).

https://historyofeconomics.org/about-the-society/early-career-scholars-fund/

The History of Economics Society welcomes applications by early career 
scholars for research funding of up to 1,500 dollars. The program 
supports early career scholars that otherwise would not have funds to 
undertake research activities. Up to 4 awards will be made every year.

Early career scholars are those studying for a PhD or within 4 years 
after completion of their PhD. Eligible expenses include travel and 
accommodation costs for visits to archives, for recording of oral 
histories, or for similar activities. Subsistence, purchase of 
equipment, fees/licenses/rights, digitization and transcription costs 
are typically not eligible.

The application must include a brief description of the project, details 
and full costings of expenses, mention of other funding applications 
submitted for the same activities. These materials should not exceed 750 
words. In addition, the application must include a two-page CV of the 
applicant and a letter of support from their supervisor.

Proposals should be submitted to [log in to unmask]

Applicants should be aware that there may not be a specialist of their 
topic among the evaluation committee. Candidates should therefore 
provide a short but clear summary of the state of the art (with a few 
key references), a clear justification of why the research question the 
grant is addressing advances the existing literature, and detailed 
information about the evidence the applicant intends to gather in the 
research activities.

Process for reimbursement:

Awardees will be reimbursed up to $1500 for research-related travel.  
You must submit receipts for expenses, including air travel, ground 
transportation, hotel expenses, and up to $50/day in food and 
miscellaneous expenses for completed travel (for which we do not need a 
receipt). Hotel expenses may be restricted to a reasonable level as 
based on the US government's travel allowance. Receipts may be submitted 
to HES's office manager, Amy Hardy, at [log in to unmask] Our preferred 
method of payment is a check in USD. For that, we only need your mailing 
address. For international wire transfers we need your full name (as it 
appears on your bank account), your address (as your bank believes it to 
be), your bank name and location, and your IBAN. Transfers to Brazil may 
require additional paperwork.

Decisions will be made by the Early Career Scholars committee. There are 
two cycles annually, with a Dec. 1 and a May 15 deadline.
