The Franklin program is particularly designed to help meet the costs of travel to libraries and archives for research purposes; the purchase of microfilm, photocopies, or equivalent research materials; the costs associated with fieldwork; or laboratory research expenses.

The deadline for application and two letters of support is October 1, 2018, for a January 2019 decision for work in February 2019 through January 2020.

A special program within the Franklin Research Grant is the APS/British Academy Fellowship for Research in London. In collaboration with the British Academy, the APS offers an exchange postdoctoral fellowship for a minimum of one and a maximum of two months’ research in the archives and libraries of London during 2019. This award includes travel expenses between the United States and the United Kingdom and a monthly subsistence paid by the APS. Candidates should specify that they are asking for the British Academy Fellowship and apply by October 1; applicants not selected for the British Academy Fellowship will be considered for a Franklin Research Grant.

Eligibility

Applicants are expected to have a doctorate or to have published work of doctoral character and quality.

Awards

Funding is offered up to a maximum of $6,000. Grants are not retroactive.
