The Gerald R. Ford Foundation awards grants of up to $2,200 each in support of research in the archival collections of the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library, part of the system of Presidential Libraries administered by the National Archives and Records Administration.

A grant helps defray the travel and living expenses of a research trip to the Ford Library.
Any person with a serious interest in the holdings of the Ford Library may apply. Selection criteria include the scope and pertinence of the Library's archival collections, project significance, appropriateness of project design, and applicant qualifications. Before you apply, please contact the Library for information about holdings related to your project.
