TARII Speaker scholarship
In an effort to encourage and facilitate more Iraqi participation in international scholarly events and conferences, we welcome financial support requests from residents of Iraq to assist with expenses incurred while participating in these programs. If you have been selected to speak at an event outside of Iraq but are unable to attend due to the expenses, send us an email!
Your email should be sent to Info@tarii.org and must include at least:
A letter detailing your request including information on the event, how much is requested (up to 2,000 USD), and if you are seeking or have received funding support from anywhere else.
A copy of the research abstract selected for the program and proof of selection
A copy of your curriculum vitae (CV)
Eligible requests must come from residents of Iraq who will speak at a conference or event outside of Iraq. The scholarship funds may only be used on expenses incurred as a result of participation, such as (but not limited to) flights, accommodation, visa fees, meals, and/or other incidental expenses.
Requests are not required to be submitted in English.
Funding for this scholarship is provided entirely by donations to TARII. Awards will be given as donations allow. We will accept and consider requests submitted at any time - there is no deadline.

Modern Endangered Archives Program (MEAP): Call for Applications
The Modern Endangered Archives Program (MEAP) invites applications for its seventh cohort of projects to document, digitize, and make accessible collections at risk from environmental conditions, political uncertainty, inherently unsustainable media, inappropriate storage, or communal and social change. All materials created with MEAP funding will be published on the open access UCLA Digital Library.
Three Grant Opportunities: Planning Grants for organization, survey, and inventory work; Project Grants for digitization and metadata creation; and Regional Grants to create digital collections that include cultural heritage materials from three or more institutions, families, or archival repositories related to one theme, community or historical event.
What They Fund
MEAP supports projects for documentation and digitization of at-risk cultural heritage from parts of the world with limited resources for archival preservation. They seek applications that focus on preserving endangered collections from the 20th and 21st Centuries that reflect community voices, cultural expression, and historical experiences that have been left out of national narratives and archives. Collections must be held and digitization work completed outside North America, UK, and the Europe Union.
Application
MEAP has a two-stage application process. All applicants are required to submit a Preliminary Application. Select applicants will then be invited to complete a Detailed Application.
All applications must be submitted in English through the Survey Monkey Apply portal. Learn more at the their website, including application details, eligibility requirements, resources, and to register for their Application Webinar (Thursday, 17 October 17, 2024).
