Call For Proposals: Dr. Stephen F. Lintner History of Discoveries Field Research Award

15 April 2026
-, USA

Organisation: The Society for the History of Discoveries

The Dr. Stephen F. Lintner Field Research Travel Award supports graduate students whose scholarship on the history of geographic discoveries requires direct engagement with the landscapes, environmental settings, and cultural contexts in which exploration occurred. The program reflects the value of field observation for understanding how explorers encountered terrain, interacted with local environments and communities, and interpreted unfamiliar regions. It is intended for graduate students whose research benefits from on-site investigation of routes, ecological features, landforms, cultural settings, or other place-based elements essential to reconstructing historical experiences of discovery.
Two awards of up to $1,500 each may be granted annually. Deadline for submission is 15 April 2026.
