At its spring meeting, the Association's Research Division selected thirty AHA members to receive grants for further research in the history of the Western hemisphere.

Beveridge grants are offered for research in the history of the United States, Canada, or Latin America. The Littleton-Griswold grants-in-aid program covers research in American legal history and the field of law and society. The Kraus grant seeks to recognize the most deserving proposals relating to work in progress on a research project in American colonial history, with particular reference to the intercultural aspects of American and European relations. The number of grants awarded from the funds each year depends on the balance of income from the funds after other continuing obligations are met.

The following members, and their proposed research projects, were selected from the ninety-six applications reviewed:
