The James Marston Fitch  Charitable Foundation will award up to $25,000 for a
research grant to  mid-career professionals who have an advanced or
professional degree and at  least 10 years' experience in architectural preservation or
related fields,  including historic preservation, architecture, landscape
architecture, urban  design, environmental planning, archaeology, architectural
history, and the  decorative arts. Other smaller grants are made at the
discretion of the  Trustees. The grants are intended to support projects of
innovative  original research or creative design that advance the practice of historic
preservation in the  U.S.  The mid-career grant is made possible by  the
generosity of the Kress Foundation. The deadline is September 8,  2005

I think a lot of Bullamanka members would be eligible  for this grant
