The Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation aims to support research and education by providing grants for scholars to explore the holdings of the Gerald R. Ford Library, focusing on federal policies, U.S. foreign relations, and national politics primarily in the 1960s and 1970s, with some material from other periods depending on the research topic.
The grant program offered by the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation is designed to defray the travel and living expenses of scholars undertaking research trips to the Gerald R. Ford Library. The library's collections provide a rich resource for studying federal policies, U.S. foreign relations, and national politics, with a focus on the transformative periods of the 1960s and 1970s, but also encompassing earlier and later materials relevant to researchers' topics.
