GRANTS
Grants for Travel and Research at the ROCKEFELLER ARCHIVE CENTER
The Rockefeller Archive Center invites applications for its program of Grants for Travel and Research at the Rockefeller Archive Center for 1999. The competitive program makes grants of up to $2,500 to U.S. and Canadian researchers and up to $3,000 to researchers from other countries in any discipline, usually graduate students or post-doctoral scholars, who are engaged in research that requires use of the collections at the Center. The Rockefeller Archive Center's collections include the records of the Rockefeller family, the Rockefeller Foundation, The Rockefeller University, and other philanthropies and associated individuals.
For 1999, in addition to its regular competitive program, the Center will award grants to support research on topics related to the history of conservation and ecology, and for the history of the Rockefeller University. The Archive Center holds wide-ranging collections relating to the conservation movement and to ecological research in the 20th century. The Rockefeller University archives include administrative records, papers of individual scientists (such as Alfred E. Cohn, Rene Dubos, Rebecca Lancefield, and Karl Landsteiner), photographs and films. The archives document the leading currents of biomedical research in the 20th century.
The deadline for all grant applications is November 30, 1998; grant recipients will be announced in March 1999. Inquiries about the program and requests for applications should be addressed to:
