Name: The Society for Military History Research Grant
Award Amount: Varies
Information And Eligibility:
The Society for Military History Research Grant supports students, scholars, and early-career researchers conducting original research in the field of military history. This long-standing program is designed to promote high-quality scholarship on military institutions, warfare, strategy, leadership, and the societal impact of conflict across all time periods and global regions. Grants may fund travel to archives, libraries, museums, battlefield sites, or other research locations, as well as the purchase of primary source materials essential to completing a scholarly project.
Eligible applicants may come from a range of academic fields, including history, political science, international relations, security studies, and other disciplines connected to military history. Both undergraduate and graduate students may apply, as well as independent researchers formally affiliated with a recognized academic or research institution. Applicants should have a clearly defined project, a scholarly research plan, and a topic that contributes meaningfully to historical understanding of warfare or military affairs.
Award recipients are selected by a committee of military-history scholars who evaluate proposals based on clarity of the research question, feasibility of the project, demonstrated need for funding, academic merit, the applicant’s preparation, and the potential for the research to contribute to the broader discipline.
