Princeton University Library Short-Term Research Grants for 2004-2005
The Friends of the Princeton University Library anticipate awarding up to ten short-term research grants to promote scholarly use of the research collections. The Program in Hellenic Studies will also support a limited number of library grants in Hellenic studies. And the Cotsen's Children's Library supports research in its collection on aspects of children's books. In addition, there is a special fund that may be available for original research in public policy collections held by the Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library, and the Maxwell Fund will support research on material relating to the Portuguese-speaking world. These grants, which have a value of up to $2,500 each, are meant to help defray expenses in traveling to and residing in Princeton during the tenure of the grant. The length of the grant will depend on the applicant’s research proposal, but is ordinarily one month. This round’s grants are tenable from May 2004 to April 2005. The deadline is 15 January 2004.
Applicants (graduate students, professors, independent researchers) are asked to submit a completed application form, consultation form and budget form, a résumé, and a research proposal not exceeding three pages in length. Application forms are available from our website <http://www.princeton.edu/~rbsc/fellowships/> or by writing to the address given below. Applicants must also arrange for two confidential letters of recommendation (in English) to be sent directly to the Research Grants Committee at the Library address.
The proposal should address specifically the relevance of the Princeton University Library collections to the proposed research. Prospective grantees are urged to consult the Library’s home page (at <http://libweb.princeton.edu>) for detailed descriptions of the collections, especially those in the Rare Books and Special Collections Department, and for the names of curators and reference staff. Applicants should have specific Princeton resources in mind—not simply a desire to make use of a major research library—as they prepare their proposals.
A committee consisting of members of the faculty, the library staff, and the Friends will award the grants on the basis of the relevance of the proposal to unique holdings of the library, the merits and significance of the project, and the applicant’s scholarly qualifications. Awards will be made before 1 April 2004.
Application materials and letters of recommendation are to be mailed to Research Grants Committee, Princeton University Library, One Washington Road, Princeton, NJ 08544. Materials mailed to the committee must be postmarked no later than 15 January 2004. Facsimile transmissions may be sent to (609) 258?2324. Electronic communications to the Committee may be sent to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Materials submitted by e-mail or facsimile must be received no later than 15 January 2004.
