The purpose of this travel award is to provide an opportunity for emerging scholars to learn more about research in the social and cultural history of firearms and ballistics. Awardees will have an opportunity to discuss their own research at a lunchtime roundtable.

The travel award pays for flight, ground transportation, and hotel.
