Proposal Writing for the Wenner-Gren Foundation: Dissertation Fieldwork and Post-PhD Research Grants

The following webinar was recorded on September 10, 2026.

In the U.S., where Wenner-Gren is based, as elsewhere in the world, anthropologists are facing unprecedented obstacles. Danilyn Rutherford, the President of Wenner-Gren, along with Foundation Anthropologists Dr. Brendane Tynes and Michael Muse, discuss how Wenner-Gren is responding. They discuss our new eligibility requirements, how we’re responding to changes in the funding landscape, and Wenner-Gren’s approach to Generative AI. We also offer some tips on applying for our research grants. The focus of this webinar is on the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant and the Post-PhD Research Grant. If you are planning to apply, this webinar is for you.
