STOREP Grants
As stated in the Association’s Statute, STOREP’s main aim is to promote diffusion and 
deepen the understanding of the history of economic thought and political economy, also through the institution of research grants. But STOREP has always been a home for scholars willing to adopt an interdisciplinary perspective while working on the frontier of economics, and, in general, for heterodox economists.
Aware of the difficulties STOREP members may encounter due to lack of financial resources, even in presenting their research at the Annual Conference, the Executive Committee decided the launch, in 2016, a series of grants (of 2,000 EUR each, funded from the budget; from 2020 to 2023, the call was for one annual grant of 3,000 EUR) – called “STOREPgrants” – for innovative small-scale research projects.
Following a call for applications published on this website, specifying rules and deadlines for submitting proposals, STOREP finances, on a competitive basis, research projects (by STOREP members) that fall into one or more of the following three categories:
- research projects in the history of political economy, the history of economic thought, and the history of economics,
- research projects exploring economic issues on an interdisciplinary basis,
- research projects explicitly promoting heterodox approaches to economic theory.
Proposals are scrutinized on their quality and relevance by a selection committee composed of three members nominated by the Executive Committee, avoiding any conflict of interest. In the event that the selection committee considers none of the proposals worthy of funding, the grant budget is retained for the next year.
Award recipients must commit themselves to publicly illustrating the results of their research by presenting a full paper in the coming STOREP Conferences and submitting it for publication in the STOREPapers Series.
Winners receive 50% of the funding when the proposal is accepted and 50% after submitting their paper for presentation at the STOREP Annual Conference.
