AAR Grant Programs

We maintain several grant programs for members. Eligible applicants can seek funding for regional development grants, travel grants to attend our Annual Meetings,  public engagement fellowships, and individual or collaborative research grants.

Please note that in January 2025 we announced a one year pause to most of our grant programs. Travel grants to the November Annual Meeting will not be affected.
