Applications having support from other granting bodies will be looked at more favorably.
Grants to individuals for academic research:
PHF does not provide funding for university tuition fees, PhD dissertation work, or travel to conferences.
The maximum awarded for individual research grants is $10,000.
For amounts less than a $3,000 only one reference is required. For amounts above $3,000 two references are required.
Referees cannot be part of the project for which support is requested and should not be beneficiaries of the grant. The referees should furthermore not be from the same institution as the applicant.
Members of the Board of PHF cannot be referees.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that PHF receives the complete application and letters of reference by the deadline – no exceptions.
All references by scholars attached to an academic institution must be sent directly from the institutional email address of the referees or, if sent by post, on letterhead paper only.
PHF will pay only grantees and not a third person designated by them.
Grantees MUST have a US bank account or one in compliance with US banking regulations.
All expenditures of funding from the PHF must comply meticulously with applicable US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) regulations, and any violations are the responsibility of the grantee, not the PHF.
Grants awarded conditionally but not taken up will become void after one year.
All grant recipients must provide a progress report and end of project report providing details of work completed or performance information as applicable within 3 months after completion. Without a final report subsequent applications will not be considered.
The Persian Heritage Foundation’s (PHF’s) support and logo must be acknowledged and displayed clearly in all printed and web-based material relating to the event/project. This includes but is not limited to flyers, advertisements, programs, conference proceedings, web pages, etc. Wording will depend on type of contribution provided [in association, partners, supported by, etc.].
Any podcasts, video casts, or other recorded sound and/or video from the events being sponsored shall be made available, with all relevant rights, to PHF for dissemination through its website (either directly or through a link to the event’s website) and for use in PHF’s promotional materials. PHF promises in return to credit the provider of the film and the organizer of the event in any subsequent use. A reciprocal link would be provided by us to them.
Failure to meet these conditions may result in PHF’s withdrawal from sponsorship and void the agreement between the parties.
No applicant shall contact a Trustee regarding any application. Rather, an applicant shall contact info@persianheritagefoundation.org for any questions regarding an application.
