By accident (if you want to know: I just was searching for the meaning of the spanish word zaramagullon, which is the Great Crested Grebe, in german "Haubentaucher), well; and doing this I stumbled over a interesting organisation: FAMSI. They describe theirself: "The Foundation (FAMSI) was created in 1993 to foster increased understanding of ancient Mesoamerican cultures. The Foundation aims to assist and promote qualified scholars who might otherwise be unable to undertake or complete their programs of research and synthesis. Projects in the following disciplines are urged to apply: anthropology, archaeology, art history, epigraphy, ethnography, ethnohistory, linguistics, and related fields. The Granting Department provides funds on an annual basis to support research projects that promise to make significant contributions to the understanding of ancient Mesoamerican cultures. Grant recipients are determined through an annual grant application competition."
