About this opportunity
The First Book Grant (FBG) for Research on Minoritized Christian Communities in North America provides grants up to $55,000 (USD) supporting research leaves to complete book projects addressing studies of Christian faith and practice in the United States or Canada, examining how communities’ religious beliefs, worship, leadership, and institutions are shaped by social history, migration, and cultural difference in North American contexts. The First Book Grant supports early-career scholars, especially those teaching at theological schools, while they complete research and writing for publication of their first book (or a second book, if necessary for tenure).
