The National Science Foundation offers grants for high-risk research in biological anthropology and archaeology. This program aims to provide researchers with small awards to assess the feasibility of unconventional anthropological projects. These grants support projects that face difficulties in securing traditional funding but have the potential for significant discoveries. Researchers must contact the NSF Program Director before submitting a proposal to ensure the project aligns with the program’s goals. The findings from these high-risk projects can serve as foundations for future well-developed research programs.

| Description: | Anthropological research may be conducted under unusual circumstances, often in distant locations. As a result the ability to conduct potentially important research may hinge on factors that are impossible to assess from a distance and some projects with potentially great payoffs may face difficulties in securing funding. This program gives small awards that provide investigators with the opportunity to assess the feasibility of an anthropological research project. It is required that the proposed activity be clearly high risk in nature. The information gathered may then be used as the basis for preparing a more fully developed research program.
Investigators must contact the cognizant NSF Program Director before submitting an HRRBAA proposal. This will facilitate determining whether the proposed work is appropriate for HRRBAA support. |
