Rockefeller Archive Center’s competitive grant-in-aid program provides awards for reimbursement of up to $5000 for certain receipted expenses related to research conducted at the RAC. The research grants are designed to foster, promote, and support research by serious scholars in the collections located at the Rockefeller Archive Center, which include the records of the Rockefeller Family, The Rockefeller University, The Rockefeller Foundation, and other philanthropies and associated individuals.
An independent committee will review each application based on the applicant’s research topic and the availability of relevant material in the RAC’s collections. Awards are made to individuals. Institutions are not eligible to apply. The grant does not support research at other institutions, and it does not provide general tuition support. Application to the grant-in-aid program is open to U.S. citizens and citizens of foreign countries. Certain U.S. Government requirements will apply to non-U.S. citizens.
The deadline for applications is November 15th each year, and awards are announced at the end of the following March. Grant recipients must commence their research at the Center within one year of being notified of the award. Grant recipients are requested to submit a short report on their research at the Center. Edited versions of or excerpts from these reports may be used in the Center’s publications. Recipients also are asked to provide the Center with a copy of any publication resulting from research conducted as a result of the grant. Reimbursement of up to $5000 will be made upon receipt of original expense receipts following the completion of the grant recipient’s research visit.
