Individual projects

Type and scope of the funding

The grants for research projects involve, depending on the type of project, the assumption of costs for personnel, travel, materials and/or other costs.

Applicants must be actively involved in the research work underpinning the project. Project staff on research projects may only be financed by PhD or research grants. A fundamental prerequisite for a grant is that project staff conduct their own research, which is published under their name. The simultaneous receipt of salary or retirement pension and a research scholarship is not possible.

The Botstiber Institute for Austrian-American Studies (BIAAS) and the Austrian-American Educational Commission (AAEC) / Fulbright Austria jointly established two Fulbright-Botstiber Visiting Professors of Austrian-American Studies.

A Fulbright-Botstiber award (approximately $20,000 for one academic semester) is offered annually to one Austrian scholar to be hosted by institutions in the United States, and an identical award is offered annually to one American scholar to be hosted by institutions in Austria.

The Botstiber Institute for Austrian-American Studies (BIAAS) seeks grant proposals for research or projects aimed at promoting an understanding of the historic relationship between the United States and Austria, including Habsburg Austria.

Research proposals may request support for on-site research at archives or other facilities holding historical documents. Proposals may also include support for books, dissertations, exhibits or media projects.
