The Keats-Shelley Association of America is pleased to share information about this year’s Carl H. Pforzheimer, Jr. Research Grant opportunity. The Pforzheimer Grants are awarded each year to support research in Romantic-era literature and culture.
Preference is given to projects involving subjects featured in The Keats-Shelley Journal, K-SAA’s annual publication. Projects need not be author-based, nor focus on Keats and the Shelleys. We especially encourage proposals for projects which expand traditional definitions of the field and its futures; particularly those engaging race, empire, gender, class, and/or global Romanticisms.
Awardees whose research plans include archival work at the British Library may be recommended for an additional top-off grant through the American Trust for the British Library Research Fellowship. Visit https://atbl.us for more information.
Advanced graduate students, untenured faculty, and independent scholars working outside the academy are eligible.
Each grant is worth $3,000.
The deadline for 2026 awards is November 1, 2025.
Please visit the K-SAA website for more information on the award and details about application requirements.
