The Center for East Asian Studies at the University of Kansas, a federally designated National Resource Center, is offering travel grants to scholars outside the Lawrence Kansas area who wish to use the University's East Asian Library collection during the 2009-2010 academic year through July 2010. A limited number of travel grants of up to $300 each will be awarded to cover travel and lodging expenses. Applicants at institutions where there are no or few library resources in the East Asian languages will be given priority consideration. The awards must be used before August 1, 2010. Applications will be reviewed by the travel grants committee based on merit to faculty members and graduate students engaged in dissertation research. The application deadline is February 15, 2010.

The East Asian collection has over 270,000 volumes in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, substantial periodical holdings, and electronic resources. The collection is especially strong in the fields of Chinese and Japanese art history, history, literature, religion, and Japanese women's studies. For further information about the collection please consult http://www.lib.ku.edu/eastasia/  or contact Vickie Doll, Head of the East Asian Library, at vdoll@ku.edu.
