Conference travel grants for scholarship on the Holocaust

The Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum offers travel grants for scholars to attend a professional conference where they are presenting their original research on a topic on or related to the Holocaust.

This competitive grant program is part of the Broadening Academia Initiative, a larger initiative designed to support the production of scholarship on the Holocaust by scholars who are untenured, contingent, or working outside of academia. Those selected for a conference travel grant will be reimbursed for travel expenses in an amount not to exceed $1,000 for travel in North America or not to exceed $1,600 for international travel; lodging expenses not to exceed $1,088; and receive a stipend for miscellaneous expenses. Please note when booking travel that the Museum can only reimburse the most direct economy class round-trip travel.

Grant recipients will have one year from the awarded grant to attend their conference and must submit materials for reimbursement afterward. Recipients are responsible for scheduling their own travel and accommodations.

Qualifications

• Applicants must have earned a PhD.
• Applicants must be North American-based Holocaust scholars who are untenured, contingent, or working outside of academia.
• Applicants must be presenting research related to the field of Holocaust studies.
