USA: Franklin Research Grants

*Scope*
Since 1933 the American Philosophical Society has awarded small grants to scholars in order to support the cost of research leading to publication in all areas of knowledge. In 2008-2009 the Franklin Research Grants program awarded over $259,000 to 60 scholars, and the Society expects to make at least a similar and potentially a higher number of awards in this year's competition. The Franklin program is
particularly designed to help meet the costs of travel to libraries and archives for research purposes; the purchase of microfilm, photocopies, or equivalent research materials; the costs associated with fieldwork; or laboratory research expenses.

Franklin grants are made for noncommercial research. They are not intended to meet the expenses of attending conferences or the costs of publication. The Society does not pay overhead or indirect costs to any institution. Grants will not be made to replace salary during a leave of absence or earnings from summer teaching; pay living expenses while working at home; cover the costs of consultants or research assistants; or purchase permanent equipment such as computers, cameras, tape
recorders, or laboratory apparatus.

*Eligibility*
Applicants are expected to have a doctorate or to have published work of doctoral character and quality. Ph.D. candidates are not eligible to apply, but the Society is particularly interested in supporting the work of young scholars who have recently received the doctorate. American citizens and residents of the United States may use their Franklin awards at home or abroad. Foreign nationals must use their Franklin awards for research in the United States. Applicants who have received Franklin grants may reapply after an interval of two years.

*Awards*
Funding is offered up to a maximum of $6,000 for use in calendar year 2010. Grants are not retroactive. Grants are payable to the individual applicant. Franklin grants are taxable income, but the Society is not required to report payments. It is recommended that grant recipients discuss their reporting obligations with their tax advisors.

*Deadlines*
For applications and two letters of support:

* October 1, 2009, for a January 2010 decision for work in February through December
* December 1, 2009, for a March 2010 decision for work in April through December

It is the applicant's responsibility to verify that all required materials, including letters of support, reached the Society on time; contact Linda Musumeci, Research Administrator, at LMusumeci@amphilsoc .org or 215-440-3429.

*Requirements*
Reports are due no later than one month after completing the work for which the award was made.

USA: Truman Library Institute Research Grants Program

The Harry S. Truman Library Institute for National and International Affairs is the private, non-profit partner of the Harry S. Truman Library. The Institute's purpose is to foster the Truman Library as a center for research and as a provider of educational and public programs. Applications for funding will be considered by the Institute's Committee on Research, Scholarship and Academic Relations.

I. RESEARCH GRANTS

a.. Research Grant Application Form
Grants of up to $2,500 are awarded biannually and are intended to enable graduate students, post-doctoral scholars and other researchers to come to the Harry S. Truman Library for one to three weeks to use its collections. Awards are to offset expenses incurred for this purpose only.

Eligibility: Graduate students and post-doctoral scholars are particularly encouraged to apply, but applications from others engaged in advanced research will also be considered. Preference will be given to projects that have application to enduring public policy and foreign policy issues and that have a high probability of being published or publicly disseminated in some other way. The potential contribution of a project to an applicant's development as a scholar will also be considered. An individual may receive no more than two Research Grants in a five year period.

Deadlines: April 1 and October 1. The Committee will notify applicants in writing of its decision approximately six weeks after these dates.

Budgets: Budgets are calculated on the following basis: 1) $75 per day for lodging and meals. 2) Airfare based on the best advance coach fare available. 3) Up to $100 allowance for photocopying. 4) Roundtrip mileage for grantees using personal vehicles to drive in is currently reimbursable at 48.5 cents per mile (subject to change). Area ground transportation (airport shuttles, cabs, local bus service, etc.) is the responsibility of the grantee.

b.. End-of-Grant Reporting Responsibilities: Grantees will provide the following to the Institute: 1) A copy of any thesis, dissertation, and/or published work based in part on grant-funded research at the Truman Library. 2) A statement of about 750 words which describes the grantee's project and the contribution toward its development made by research conducted at the Truman Library. Grantees give the Institute the right to publish this statement if it chooses to do so.

II. DISSERTATION YEAR FELLOWSHIPS

a.. Dissertation Year Fellowship Application Form
Grants of $16,000 will be given to support graduate students working on some aspect of the life and career of Harry S. Truman or of the public and foreign policy issues which were prominent during the Truman years. One or two dissertation year fellowships will normally be awarded each year.

Eligibility: Applicants should have substantially completed their research and be prepared to devote full time to writing their dissertation. Preference will be given to projects based on extensive research at the Truman Library. There is no requirement that applicants conduct further research at the Truman Library.

Deadline: February 1. The Committee will notify applicants in writing of its decision within approximately four weeks after the deadline date.

Budget: No Budget is required. The annual stipend will be awarded in two installments, September and January. The award is intended to support a graduate student for one year.

b.. End-of-Grant Reporting Responsibilities: Awardees will provide the Institute with the following: 1) A copy of any dissertation and/or other published work written or substantially prepared during the grant period; 2) A statement of about 1,500 words which describes the awardee's dissertation and its place in the historiography of the Truman era, and the contribution toward its development made by research conducted at the Truman Library. Awardees give the Institute the right to publish the statement if it chooses to do so.

III. SCHOLAR'S AWARD

a.. Scholar's Award Application Form
Grants of up to $30,000 are made to post-doctoral scholars engaged in work on some aspect of the life and career of Harry S. Truman or of the public and foreign policy issues which were prominent during the Truman years. The award is intended to free a scholar from teaching or other employment for a substantial period of time. The awarding of the Scholar's Award is contingent upon the receipt of underwriting support and of strong proposals from applicants. If, in the opinion of the Institute's Committee on Research, Scholarship and Academic Relations, the quality of available applications does not justify the making of an award in any given year, none will be made. When possible, the Institute intends to award a Scholar's Award every other year, in even numbered years.

Eligibility: An applicant's work should be based in part on extensive research at the Truman Library and be intended to result in the publication of a book-length manuscript. An individual may receive a Scholar's Award only once.

Deadlines: Applicants should submit a proposal by December 15 of odd numbered years. This proposal should describe work already done on a project and work which remains to be done, and should include a bibliography. The Committee will advise applicants in writing of the outcome of their preliminary screening no later than February 1. Applicants selected to continue in the second phase of the awarding process will be contacted by February 15 and asked to submit 1) A description of Truman Library materials that an applicant has already examined and those that he or she intends to
examine; 2) A projected timeline for completion of the applicant's project; and 3) An estimate of an applicant's income during the year when the award will be given. Applicants will be notified of the Committee's final decision in writing by April 15.

Budget: No budget is required.

The awardee would give the Institute the right to
publish this statement if it chooses to do so.
