The mission of the American Society of Overseas Research (ASOR) is to initiate, encourage, and support research and public understanding of the history and cultures of the Near East and wider Mediterranean world, from the earliest times. ASOR aims to achieve its mission in a manner that is apolitical and without any religious affiliation.
ASOR's grant program is designed to renew emphasis on funding grants and fellowships for individuals participating in excavations in the Eastern Mediterranean. Since 2007, it has awarded over $986,000 to support 740 researchers and students. The grants primarily support archaeological projects, project directors, and provide scholarships for fieldwork participants, research fellowships, and other scholarly activities. The Stevan B. Dana Project Grant, specifically, offers $5,000 to support ASOR-affiliated excavation projects, targeting newer and smaller projects or specific parts of larger projects. The funds can be used for equipment purchases or discrete small initiatives, including off-season research and analysis.
