This is a National Science Foundation program for small feasibility awards in high-risk biological anthropology and archaeology research, meant to let investigators assess a project before seeking full funding. It is for researchers who can show the work is clearly high risk and who contact the NSF program director first. Businesses outside anthropological research, including retail, manufacturing, and logistics firms, should not bother applying.

NSF small awards (up to ~$35,000) to assess the feasibility of high-risk anthropological research projects in biological anthropology and archaeology; unrestricted eligibility, so investigators at universities, nonprofits, businesses, or other entities may apply with prior program-director contact.
Anthropological research may be conducted under unusual circumstances, often in distant locations. As a result the ability to conduct potentially important research may hinge on factors that are impossible to assess from a distance and some projects with potentially great payoffs may face difficulties in securing funding. This program gives small awards that provide investigators with the opportunity to assess the feasibility of an anthropological research project. It is required that the proposed activity be clearly high risk in nature. The information gathered may then be used as the basis for preparing a more fully developed research program.
Investigators must contact the cognizant NSF Program Director before submitting an HRRBAA proposal. This will facilitate determining whether the proposed work is appropriate for HRRBAA support.
