The Academic Advisory Council for Signage Research and Education (AACSRE), through its Emerging Fellows program, will provide research support for projects related to the societal benefits of on-premise signs. The research support is intended to stimulate and extend research projects by scholars from public and private universities in the United States who have demonstrated promise in conducting research related to signage. Fellowships of up to $10,000 per year will be awarded. Priority for these fellowships will be given to pre-tenured faculty, but post-docs and graduate students may also submit applications.
