In 2026, SABR will award up to $10,000 in support of no more than two research projects through its SABR Research Grant initiative. These grants are intended to support original scholarly work that aligns with our organization's core mission: fostering the study, discussion, and understanding of all aspects of baseball. We invite proposals that deepen our knowledge of baseball from various disciplines, including (but not limited to) history and the broader humanities, analytics, data science, business, law, biomechanics, and kinesiology. Applications that support the completion of a lasting outcome, such as a peer-reviewed publication or public exhibit, are highly encouraged.

Please submit a proposal as a single PDF via the form below by 8:00 p.m. Eastern on March 1, 2026.

For questions, or more details, please contact Paul Zwirecki.
