Each year the Herbert and Valmae Freilich Project for the Study of Bigotry may offer three grants known as the Herbert and Valmae Freilich Annual Early Career Research Small Grant. The objective/s of the grants are to assist research into the causes, the histories and the effects of ethnic, cultural, religious and sexual bigotry and animosity, and to explore how such intolerance can be combatted, and co-existence promoted. 

The value of each individual grant is not to exceed $5000. Grants may be used to assist research in a number of ways including, but not limited to, archival work, fieldwork; research or administrative assistance; teaching relief; research dissemination activities and conference attendance (including childcare costs).

Applications for the 2024 grant round are now closed.
