The Keats-Shelley Association of America is pleased to share information about this year’s Carl H. Pforzheimer 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.
