CHARLES HARRIS PROJECT GRANTS

ASOR plans to award at least one Harris Grant of $5,000 during 2024 (see COVID disclaimer below).

The Harris Endowment provides modest grants to worthy projects that are ASOR-affiliated, particularly to newer and smaller projects, to help them get started, and to discrete components of larger projects that can be completed with an award. ASOR plans to award at least one Harris Grant of $5,000 in 2024.

Universal Grant Application Form

Application Deadline: February 26, 2024

Previous Recipients

If you have any questions, please email Marta Ostovich.

Guidelines

1. Applications are restricted to directors of ASOR/CAP-affiliated projects or senior staff members of affiliated projects. Applications by staff members other than the director must be accompanied by a letter of endorsement from the project director.

2. Only one application from a single project will be considered in any given year. Awards are usually not made to the same individual or project in successive years. Only direct expenses are permitted, and no indirect or overhead may be charged.

3. Harris Project Grants are not designed to fund travel for student volunteers or junior staff members (see Scholarships for Fieldwork Participation).

4. Funds will be made available from the ASOR office, and recipients may receive a Form 1099 for the funds received. Only direct expenses are permitted, and no indirect or overhead may be charged.

Apply for ASOR Affiliation for a Project

COVID disclaimer: If the ongoing COVID pandemic, or any other reason, does not allow for many archaeological excavations to take place during 2024, ASOR may at its sole discretion decide not to offer project grants. If ASOR deems such a decision as necessary, applicants may reapply for non-fieldwork summer stipends if ASOR can offer stipends for 2023. Regrettably, applicants and successful applicants may not postpone project grants to another year if the applicant or ASOR decides that project grants will not be awarded in 2024. If the pandemic or any other reason causes a cancellation of fieldwork in 2024, applicants must reapply for funding in 2025 (or for stipends if they can be made available in 2024).
