The American Council of Learned Societies supports the creation and circulation of knowledge that advances understanding of humanity and human endeavors in the past, present, and future, with a view toward improving human experience.

Over the past century, more than 12,000 scholars have been awarded ACLS fellowships and grants, which recognize excellence in research in the humanities and interpretive social sciences. The peer-review process used to select awardees enables distinguished scholars to reach a broad consensus on standards of excellence in humanistic research.
