Call for Microgrant Applications

ISGAP is pleased to offer microgrants to Research Fellows, alumni of our ISGAP Oxford Summer Institute, and academics involved in the ISGAP professional network. Grants of $500 to $1,500, and for unique proposals up to $3,500, are available to pursue the following scholarly project areas: 

  1. Independent research: ISGAP supports academic research projects that center critical studies in antisemitism and culminate in journal articles, book manuscripts, research reports, or other written materials. 

  1. Translation projects: ISGAP encourages the translation of texts related to antisemitism research into academic English, French, Spanish, Arabic, etc., with particular interest in pieces originally published in Hebrew. 

  1. Presentations/appearances at conferences: ISGAP bolsters our alumni by providing funds to enable attendance at academic and research conferences as presenters, speakers, or organizers. Applicants must provide documentation indicating acceptance of their research for presentation. 

  1. Practical Initiatives, Interventions, and Programs: ISGAP assists our alumni by supporting the development of practical scholarly projects that further our organization’s mission.

Successful applicants will propose projects that center critical studies in antisemitism research and clearly outline the scope, purpose and impact of that work, as well as a detailed description of how ISGAP microgrant funds will be used. All recipients of ISGAP microgrant funding are required to credit ISGAP directly in the projects they produce.

Applications must include the following components:

  1. Project Proposal: A clear description of the project outlining relevance, objectives, methods, and intended outcomes. Applicants must clearly demonstrate how their independent research, translation projects, conference presentations, or practical initiatives contribute to critical studies in the field of antisemitism research. 

  2. Curriculum Vitae (CV): A detailed CV highlighting the applicant’s relevant experience and qualifications.

  3. Proposed Timeline: An outline of the proposed timeline, detailing key milestones and deadlines.

  5. Monetary Requests: A detailed budget that specifies the monetary amount requested and itemizes the intended uses of the ISGAP grant funds.

  6. Previous Experience and Capacity: ISGAP requires proof of the applicant’s capability to successfully execute the proposed project. This may involve providing evidence such as prior publications or the successful completion of similar projects. 

  7. Acknowledgment Requirement: All recipients of the ISGAP microgrant must commit to crediting ISGAP in their projects. Applications should outline how this acknowledgment will be incorporated into their project outputs.

Successful applicants are expected to adhere to a reporting process both during the implementation of their projects and after their completion. Further details will be provided following project approval.
