AGBU Artsakh Research Grants

Due to the recent developments in the Armenian reality, promoting the voice of Artsakh and the Armenian people has become a critical and timely issue. We are faced with the urgency to delve deep into the study of Artsakh to widen and increase our collective understanding of the region and its history, and accurately document current events and developments. The goal of these grants is to develop reliable knowledge on the history, culture, and current affairs of Artsakh, by supporting research in fields specializing in, but not limited to, the social sciences and humanities. 


The main objectives include:

  • To support significant and innovative research in social, cultural, psychological, economic, technological, humanitarian, and environmental issues of the region’s past, present and future for publication of scholarly or mainstream media articles in a variety of possible venues, and/or production of high-quality videos and podcasts

  • To build knowledge and understanding from disciplinary, interdisciplinary and/or cross-sector perspectives

  • To increase dissemination and readership of original content by expanding mainstream and scholarly access to a larger pool of primary resources and accurate accountings

  • To transfer knowledge with the potential for societal benefit and impact

Projects can be in the form of scholarly or mainstream media articles and/or high-quality videos and podcasts.
