summer/short-term research funding

[thegradgirl]

Does anyone know of any organization or grant that offers funding for short-term or summer research projects for graduate students in the social sciences or the humanities? So far my attempts have been futile--finding only programs for undergrads or for dissertation research.

It really depends on where you want to go and what you intend to do. Check with the national association for your discipline (APA, ASA, AAA, etc.) and then the smaller groups within that association to see if any of those offer funding. You might also check with other graduate students in your program (whether in your dept or at another university) to find out how they funded their summer/short-term research.
