Grammy Foundation Accepting Letters of Inquiry for Grants in Music Research and Preservation Projects

Funded by the Recording Academy, the Grammy Foundation’s grant program provides support for music archiving and preservation efforts and for scientific research projects related to the impact of music on the human condition.

The scientific research projects grant program awards funding of up to $20,000 to organizations and individuals working to research the impact of music on the human condition. Examples include the study of the effects of music on mood, cognition, and healing; the medical and occupational well-being of music professionals; and the creative process underlying music. Priority will be given to projects with strong methodological design as well those designed to address an important research question.

The archiving and preservation projects grant program awards grants to organizations and individuals in support of efforts that advance the archiving and preservation of the music and recorded sound heritage of the Americas. The archiving and preservation area has two funding categories — preservation implementation (grants of up to $20,000) and planning, assessment and/or consultation (grants of up to $5,000).

Letters of Inquiry must be received no later than October 1, 2016. Upon review, selected applicants will be invited to submit a full proposal.

See the Grammy Foundation website for complete program guidelines and an LOI form.
