The Vincentian Studies Institute announces a program of annual research grants. One single grant of $15,000 or smaller grants totaling that amount will be awarded for projects that further scholarship on the Vincentian tradition, past and present. The Vincentian Studies Institute of the United States, founded in 1979, is sponsored by the ten provinces of the Congregation of the Mission (the Vincentians) and the Company of the Daughters of Charity in the United States. The Institute's mission is to promote a living interest in the heritage of the Vincentian Family founded by Saint Vincent de Paul (1581 - 1660) and Saint Louise de Marillac (1591 - 1660). Projects may deal with any aspect of the history, spirituality or praxis of the Vincentian Family, including any of the branches of the Family: male, female, collaborators, affiliates and associates. The global Vincentian Family comprises, in part, the Ladies of Charity (Founded 1617), the Congregation of the Mission (Founded 1625), the Daughters of Charity (Founded 1633), the Saint Vincent de Paul Society (Founded 1833), and the Sisters of Charity Federation in the Vincentian - Setonian Tradition (Established 1947). Projects will be evaluated by the members of the Vincentian Studies Institute. Grants may be used for any valid purpose related to the conducting of research and may be used in conjunction with other awards and grants, contingent on receipt of funding for the total balance. A brief progress report will be required midway through the project, and a more substantial final report at the completion. Grant recipients are encouraged to submit an article based on their research for publication in Vincentian Heritage, the journal of the Vincentian Studies Institute. Ordinarily the Vincentian Studies Institute holds first right of publication on a resulting article.
