Harvard-Yenching Library Travel Grants
The Harvard-Yenching Library has announced its Travel Grant Program for the 2009-2010 academic year. The purpose of the grant is to assist scholars from outside the metropolitan Boston area in their use of the Harvard-Yenching Library’s collections for research. The application deadline is December 15, 2009.
There will be nineteen grants of $400 each (seven in Chinese studies, seven in Japanese studies, and five in Korean studies) to be awarded on a merit basis to faculty members and to graduate students engaged in dissertation research. Priority consideration will be given to those at institutions where there are no or few library resources in the East Asian languages and no major East Asian library collections are available nearby. Each grantee will also be provided with the privilege of free photocopying of up to 100 sheets. Awards must be used before August 1, 2010.
Applications for the travel grants, including a letter, a brief description of the research topic, and an estimated budget, should be addressed to: James K. M. Cheng, Librarian, Harvard-Yenching Library, Harvard University, 2 Divinity Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02138. Fax: (617) 496-6008. E-mail: jkcheng@fas.harvard.edu.
