Description
This program provides small awards to investigators to assess the feasibility of high-risk anthropological research projects, often conducted under unusual circumstances and in distant locations. The goal is to enable researchers to gather preliminary information that can support the development of a more comprehensive research program. Investigators must contact the NSF Program Director before submitting a proposal to ensure the work is appropriate for this support. The program is designed to fund projects that are clearly high risk in nature.
