Collection-Based Research

Sponsored by the Office
of Graduate and Professional Education
and the Center for Material Culture
Studies
Graduate students must travel
to historic sites and museums to study collections and to utilize
library and archival holdings for dissertation and thesis research and
data collection in material culture studies and other disciplines.
This matching competitive grant program will provide funding of up to
$300 to graduate students at the doctoral and Master’s level to support
short-term collection-based research travel. Funding may cover
transportation and housing expenses.
The program is administered by the Office of Graduate and Professional
Education. Proposals should be submitted to Mary Zielinski (zielm@UDel.Edu) at least one month in
advance of travel and must include:
- Two-page project
description and rationale
- Curriculum vita
- Detailed budget with 1:1
match funding from department or program documented.
- Recommendation from the
applicant’s faculty advisor or department/program chair or director
attesting to applicant’s progress in their major area of study and
suitability for this travel award.
Upon completion of each grant,
students will be required to prepare a report summarizing their
research activities and the influence of this experience on their
long-term research goals. A student may apply for funding only
once each fiscal year (July 1 - June 30). |
