The Anthropology Department at the The Field Museum in Chicago provides collection-based research and learning for greater public understanding and appreciation of the world in which we live. The Anthropology Department collections, public learning programs, and research are inseparably linked to serve a diverse public of varied ages, backgrounds and knowledge. Since 2009 the Anthropology Department of The Field Museum in collaboration with the American Research Center in Sofia has been developing a program, funded by the America for Bulgaria Foundation (ABF) which provides archaeological and anthropological grant opportunities in Bulgaria.

The American Research Center in Sofia is a private, independent, non-profit academic institution whose mission is to facilitate academic research in Bulgaria for American scholars in the humanities and social sciences, to promote collaboration between researchers from North America, Bulgaria, and other countries in Southeast Europe, and to stimulate academic interest in the historical and cultural heritage of the region.

The America for Bulgaria Foundation assists in the development and growth of a vibrant private sector for the benefit of a free and democratic Bulgaria. Founded in 2008, the ABF is a successor to the Bulgarian American Enterprise Fund, an investment fund created by the U.S. government acting through the U.S. Agency for International Development. The grants provided by ABF will build on the legacy of goodwill and friendship that exists between the American people and the citizens of Bulgaria.
