The Korean Collections Consortium of North America (KCCNA) is pleased to announce the
KCCNA Research Travel Grants to assist Korean Studies students and scholars
worldwide in their use of specialized library resources at the thirteen KCCNA
member universities. Funded by generous grants from the Korea Foundation for
three years from 2018-2020, this research travel grant program is open to
anyone in the world except for those in Korea who already have access to
extensive Korean resources. See the list of members and their specialized
collections here. The proposal deadline for the current cycle is
January 31, 2019.
The Korean Collections Consortium of North America (KCCNA) was created in 1992 with
generous grants from the Korea Foundation. Its members cooperatively develop
and share specialized Korean Studies scholarly resources and provide library
services to a wider audience beyond their own communities. Current membership
consists of the thirteen largest Korean Studies academic libraries in the US
and Canada. The KCCNA Research Travel
Grants program was created to assist scholars who need to travel a long
distance in order to access the resources and services of KCCNA member libraries.
ELIGIBILITY:
This
program is open to anyone in the world except for those in Korea who already

SELECTION CRITERIA:
While we
will consider all applications based on the strengths of the research proposal
and the target library’s overall ability to support the research, applications
that address the following criteria will receive preferential review:
- Describe how your research topic (on Korea or Koreans) can benefit from KCCNA’s specialized resources, along with a list of the specific resources you wish to use, including the links or the call numbers if applicable.
- The need for onsite research at the target library (why that particular library and not elsewhere?)
- Justifications for travel for access (any other means for access such as online or ILL?)
