The American Institute for Maghrib Studies announces its annual Grants Program for the academic year 2025-2026 beginning in June 2025. The Grant Program offers grants to U.S. scholars to conduct research on North African topics in Algeria, Mauritania, Morocco, or Tunisia. AIMS Overseas Research Centers in Oran, Tunis, and Tangier facilitate AIMS grants and support AIMS scholars. AIMS funds only primary research conducted in the Maghrib. AIMS offers awards with a maximum of $15,500 for projects longer than three months. Graduate students currently enrolled in an M.A. or Ph.D. program, independent scholars, and faculty in all disciplines are eligible to apply. Applicants must be current AIMS members. Researchers who will need IRB approval must obtain IRB clearance before departure to North Africa. Letters of recommendation from two referees, including the candidate's dissertation advisor, or in the case of applicants holding a Ph.D., the names of two persons who may be contacted for references are required.
