ANNOUNCING: NEW GRANT PROGRAM BEGINNING 2009

 

The Ammonius Foundation is pleased to announce a new

Target Investigation Grant Program

commencing Spring 2009.

 

In keeping with our commitment to ongoing support of research in traditional metaphysics, the Foundation is expanding its investment in funded grant initiatives. The existing Foundational Research Grant program, supporting excellent work on the broadest themes of basic metaphysics, will continue as an annual award. The new Target Investigation Grant will fund selected narrower projects of original research and writing in metaphysics. The Foundation anticipates offering 2 - 4 grant awards per year.

 

More details forthcoming, Spring 2009. Please visit us again soon!
