The Archaeology of Portugal Fellowship can be used to support research and study related to the archaeology of Portugal, including the Autonomous Regions of the Azores and Madeira. This includes, but is not limited to, excavations, research projects, colloquia, symposia, publications, and travel for research or to academic meetings for the purpose of presenting papers on the archaeology of Portugal. Funds may not be used for institutional overhead, institutional administrative recovery costs, or institutional indirect costs. The fellowship can also be used by Portuguese nationals (archaeologists and archaeology graduate students) to support research and study in the U.S. Individuals applying for this type of support are not limited to the study of Portuguese archaeology and funds can be used to research and study any archaeological region and topic. Applicants from Portugal who already hold PhDs must be AIA members at the Professional level. Portuguese graduate students must become AIA student members in order to apply for the fellowship. Portuguese graduate students wishing to study in the United States must be enrolled in or have been accepted to an accredited U.S. university or college, and must provide evidence that they have been authorized to travel to and study in the U.S. If the applicant is currently studying at a U.S. institution, transcripts are required. Portuguese nationals seeking funds for research or study in the U.S. must provide a detailed plan of their project that includes the institutions and organizations with which they will be affiliated while in the U.S. Applicants from the U.S. or countries other than Portugal must be AIA members at the graduate or professional level, and must send in their U.S. transcripts.
