SUBVENTIONS
ASPHS is pleased to provide small subventions for regional and local meetings or workshops for activities related to our mission to promote the scholarly study of Spain and Portugal through History and related disciplines. The workshops need to be run by members of the ASPHS and funding preference will be given to those meetings that include more than one or two members of the ASPHS.
In each academic year, there will be two funding cycles. The first deadline is October 31, and the second is March 1. The total funds available for disbursement in each cycle will be $1000.
Members who wish to apply for subventions should prepare a proposal of no more than one page explaining the nature of the event and its connection to ASPHS’s mission. Proposals should be accompanied by a budget explaining how the requested funds will be expended. Please note that funding is intended to support workshops and symposia; it will not be granted to support individual travel, research, or in-class presentations by an invited speaker. Please send both the proposal and the budget to the members of the Executive Committee (pradcliff@ucsd.edu; rball11@alaska.edu; klincoln@kzoo.edu; isabelcorreadasilva@ics.ul.pt; seastman@creighton.edu; young@uamont.edu; j.campbell@tcu.edu; mllorentem@hotmail.com; erowe1@jhu.edu; andavis@astate.edu; AWunder@gc.cuny.edu) on or before the deadline of each funding cycle. You must be a current member of ASPHS for your proposal to be considered.
