The Association for the Study of the Middle East and Africa (ASMEA) is offering multiple grant opportunities in conjunction with its Eighteenth Annual Conference taking place in Washington, D.C. on November 1 – 3, 2025.
The ASMEA Research Grant Program seeks to support research on topics in Middle Eastern and African studies that deserve greater attention. Applicants may submit paper proposals on any topic as long as it constitutes new and original research and is relevant to the five qualifying topic areas:
- Minorities and Women
- Military History
- Governance and Economy
- Faith
- Iran
Grants of $2500 will be awarded. Successful research grant applicants are required to present their research at the Eighteenth Annual ASMEA Conference. The deadline to apply is April 30, 2025.
ASMEA is also offering Travel Grants of up to $750 which can be used towards the costs associated with attending the Annual ASMEA Conference in Washington, D.C. The deadline to apply is April 30, 2025.
In addition, we have issued our general Call for Papers and Panels.
Grant opportunities are open to members only. For information on how to become a member and full guidelines on each program, visit our website at www.asmeascholars.org.
