    Congratulates Its Cross-Institutional Cooperative Grant Recipients

    The American Academy for Jewish Research has provided grants to faculty at North American universities to 1) encourage academic collaboration between Jewish studies programs (or faculty) at multiple institutions, either in the same city or in close geographical proximity, or 2) enable collaborative scholarly endeavors that would not otherwise receive funding.
