The University of Chicago’s Center for East Asian Studies’ Japan Studies Library Travel Grants are designed to assist scholars from outside the Chicago metropolitan area in their use of University of Chicago’s East Asian collections for research in Japan Studies. Priority consideration is 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. For the 2013-2014 academic year, there will be 10 grants of $500 each, to be awarded on a merit basis to faculty members, graduate students, and independent scholars engaged in research. Applications for the travel grant for the 2014-2015 academic year are now being accepted. The awards must be used before June 30, 2015.
