Eligible submissions may also be made through NSF-wide competitions such as CAREER, EAGER, RAPID, and Research Experiences for Undergraduates supplements. - Funding limits and duration: DDRI awards provide up to $20,000 plus university indirect costs; HRRBAA awards are capped at $35,000 total cost. Senior archaeology and archaeometry awards normally last two to three years.
