Research Grants

Advanced doctoral students (advanced to candidacy – all but dissertation) and established scientists are eligible for Leakey Foundation Research Grants. There are no citizenship restrictions; however, all applications must be in English.

Funding

The Leakey Foundation exclusively funds research related specifically to human origins. Priority of funding is commonly given to exploratory phases of promising new research projects that meet the stated purpose of the Foundation. The majority of The Leakey Foundation’s Research Grants awarded to doctoral students are in the $3,000-$15,000 range. Larger grants given to senior scientists and post-doctoral students may be funded up to $25,000.

Deadlines

The next deadline for research grant applications is January 10, 2017. This is a change in dates from previous spring cycles. All submissions and resubmissions are due on this date.

Please consider the following if you are thinking of applying for a Leakey Foundation Research Grant:

  • Is my research relevant to human origins and evolution?
  • For PhD candidates: Will I be advanced to candidacy (all but dissertation) before the deadline for application?
  • Am I affiliated with an academic or research institution?
  • We do not award funds to individuals.
  • Am I fully compliant on all prior Leakey Foundation awards?
