Grants are awarded to doctoral candidates at U.S. institutions to
improve the quality of dissertation research.  Grants provide funds for
items not normally available through the student's university.  In
general, grants are awarded for up to twenty four months. Funds may be
used for valid research expenses which include, but are not limited to,
conducting field research in settings away from campus that would not
otherwise be possible, data collection and sample survey costs, payments
to subjects or informants, specialized research equipment, analysis and
services not otherwise available, supplies, travel to archives, travel
to specialized collections and facilities or field research locations,
and partial living expenses for conducting necessary research away from
the student's university.
