Griswold research fund

Applications are now being accepted for A. Whitney Griswold Faculty Research Fund awards.

The fund was established to help faculty members carry out research in the humanities. The award is for the projected research of full-time faculty members on continuing appointment in any department or division of the University.

Funding of up to $2,500 per academic year may be sought for purposes such as travel to inspect primary-source materials; acquisition of inaccessible books or visual materials, which would later be transferred to a University library; or assistance with research. At the conclusion of the grant, recipients must submit a brief summary of research conducted under the auspices of the grant. The award is not intended for reimbursement of expenses already incurred.

Faculty members requesting amounts over $1,000 should also apply to other sources of support.

The deadline to submit applications, along with supporting materials, is Wednesday, Feb. 1. Applications are available online at www.yale.edu/whc/funding.htm. Call (203) 432-6556 for information.

All materials should be sent to the Chair, Griswold Fund Committee, Whitney Humanities Center, 53 Wall St., P.O. Box 208298, New Haven, CT 06520-8298.

The reception is an opportunity to welcome newcomers to the University and meet Yale staff and colleagues. Refreshments will be served.

The event is sponsored by the Office of International Students and Scholars, the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs and the McDougal Center.
