The Janet Levy Fund is for those without access to employer-based research funding. Examples of projects supported by the Levy Fund include travel to the Annual Meeting of the AMS, to a conference to read a paper or participate in an official capacity, or to archives or research libraries; research expenses; costs related to the reproduction of manuscripts and archival documents; and specialized research materials. Award amounts will range between $500 and $2,000. Proposals are evaluated by a committee of three appointed by the AMS president.
Eligibility:
The Janet Levy Fund supports professional travel and research expenses for scholars who are members of the American Musicological Society.

No individual may receive a Levy Award more than once in a three-year period.
