Books Grants for Minority Scholars in Religion

The Louisville Institute's First Book Grant Program for Minority Scholars seeks to assist junior, non-tenured religion scholars of color to complete a major research and book project focusing on some issue pertaining to American Christianity that is also related to the priorities of the Louisville Institute.

Amount: $40,000

Date due: January 15, 2010

The program seeks to enable scholars to spend an entire academic year devoted to that research project while free of other professional responsibilities. In keeping with its fundamental mission, the Louisville Institute is especially interested in identifying and supporting scholars of color who seek through their academic work to be in conversation with church leaders and to strengthen their faith communities.
