The program provides grants of $500 for consultation of materials essential to a scholar’s research but not readily available near the scholar’s home or place of work. Applicants for these grants may be members of college and university faculties as well as indepen­ dent humanities scholars. The research involved cannot be for work leading to an academic degree, and the grants cannot support travel to professional meetings or conferences. Awards will be made to help defray travel costs, subsistence and lodging, reproduction and photo­ duplication costs, and certain other associated re­ search expenses. The grants cannot support salary replacement or release time from regular employ­ ment. Applications for grants of less than $500 are ineligible due to the disproportionately high ad­ ministrative costs involved in processing such pro­ posals. Complete proposals must be received on or be­ fore January 15, 1984, for travel to begin after June 15. Late or incomplete applications will not be ac­ cepted. For further information and application instructions, contact: Program Officer, Travel to Collections, Division of Research Programs, Room 319G, National Endowment for the Humanities, 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue, N .W ., Washington, DC 20506; (202) 786-0207. ■ ■
