APARRI Working Group Grant

About this program

The Asia Pacific American Religions Research Initiative (APARRI) offers Working Group Grants of up to $7,000 to support collaborative, interdisciplinary projects that advance scholarly and public knowledge of Asian Pacific American religions and produce a tangible product (e.g., edited volume, co‑authored article, podcast series, or public symposium). Funds may be used for stipends (up to $500 per listed member), travel, lodging, meeting costs, honoraria, and purchase of books, though final awards are competitive and may be less than requested. Applicants must form a working group with at least three members (no more than two from the same institution), and the group leader/coordinator must hold a doctorate and have a formal affiliation with a higher‑education institution; independent scholars and graduate students may serve as members. Prior APARRI working group grantees cannot reapply, and individuals may participate in only one working group proposal per funding cycle.
