Individual projects

We are working to increase global understanding of our planet and create a community of change by advancing key insights about the world and probing some of the most pressing scientific questions of our time.

The National Geographic Society currently offers three types of grant applications—Early Career, Exploration, and Requests for Proposals

All proposed projects should be bold, innovative, and potentially transformative and have a primary focus in conservation, education, research, storytelling, or technology. Projects should also align to one of our three focus areas. 

The Harry Frank Guggenheim Distinguished Scholar Awards (formerly the Harry Frank Guggenheim Research Grants) recognize leading researchers proposing to make a significant contribution to illuminating an issue of violence.

The Miller Institute for Basic Research in Science invites department chairs, faculty advisors, professors and research scientists at institutions around the world to submit online nominations for Miller Research Fellowships in the basic sciences.

Fellows are selected on the basis of their academic achievement and the promise of their scientific research.

Two major objectives of The Konosuke Matsushita Memorial Foundation are:

• To contribute to the society by promoting international understanding
• To realize a society where mankind respects nature and harmonize with it under the concept of "co-existence of nature and mankind"

In line with these objectives, the Foundation provides funds to excellent research activities in the areas of humanities and social science.

In partnership with the Institut du Genre, the Foundation for the Memory of the Shoah offers a doctoral and a post-doctoral grant for young researchers working on the history of Jewish women in France during the Second World War and the post-war period (1939-late 1950s).

The applicants may be French or foreign students, duly registered in a doctoral program and linked to a research team. Awarded for one year, the grants may be extended on request.

Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowships support the writing-up of already completed research. The fellowship is awarded to scholars in the earlier stages of their careers, when they frequently lack the time and resources to develop their research for publication.  Scholars with a Ph.D. in hand for no more than ten years (from the application deadline) are eligible to apply. A maximum of eight Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowships are awarded annually.

L’objectif principal est l’accompagnement et le développement, à court et moyen terme, de la recherche publique vers l’excellence, en favorisant le transfert de technologies et de connaissances et la création d’activité sur le territoire Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.
