Are you planning to work with a scholar or center in your field but lack the resources?

IHS is seeking applications from graduate students who wish to travel to a university, academic center, or organization other than their own but need financial support to do so. Accepted grantees will receive up to $10,000 to use toward embedding at an institution for a period of time ranging from a week to a month. Larger grants will be considered for exceptional projects.

Awardees are expected to use the opportunity to accelerate their research by accessing data sets unavailable to them at their home institutions, making connections with researchers who may be mentors or collaborators, or using their expertise to help drive innovation.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Applicants will be notified of their award decision within eight weeks of submission.

Eligible Applications

  • Applicants must be enrolled as full-time PhD students who have advanced to candidacy or currently hold a postdoctoral fellowship
  • Previous applicants and winners are welcome to apply
  • Prior participation in IHS programs is not required
  • The grant is open to students at any university, and international students are eligible; however, priority is given to applicants at top research institutions
  • Preference will be given to research directly tied to IHS areas of focus

Ineligible Expenses

  • IHS grants cannot support institutional overhead or indirect costs

Please note that IHS does not fund industry work that is not strictly research-oriented in nature.
