The American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress invites applications for three competitive awards in 2023. The awards support ethnographic fieldwork with occupational groups; work with ethnographic collection materials at the Library of Congress; and ethnographic field research and documentation in the United States, especially by young scholars and documentarians. All three share the same deadline: March 1, 2023.

The Community Collections Grants from the American Folklife Center fund and support contemporary cultural field research and documentation within diverse communities. Available to individuals and organizations, the grants offer up to $50,000 each to support projects within their communities to produce ethnographic cultural documentation.
