AAS
NEAC Korean Studies Grants
Primary
Sponsor: Northeast Asia Council,
Association for Asian Studies
Deadline:
October 1 for consideration for fall/winter awards; February 1 for consideration for spring/summer awards
The
Northeast Asia Council of the Association
for Asian Studies, in conjunction
with the Korea Foundation, offers
a grant program in Korean studies
designed to assist the research
of individual scholars based in
North America, to improve the quality
of teaching about Korea on both
the college and precollege levels,
and to integrate the study of Korea
into the major academic disciplines.
Grants are available in the following
categories.
Research
Travel: North America Awards
of up to $1,000, including
a maximum of $100 for daily
expenses, are available to
scholars who are engaged in
research on Korea and wish
to use museum, library, or
other archival materials located
in the United States and Canada.
Primarily intended to support
post-doctoral research. Pre-doctoral
dissertation research will
be considered.
Short-term
Research Travel to Korea:
Grants of up to $2,500 are
available to cover travel,
research, and subsistence expenses
on trips to Korea for projects
explicitly related to Korean
studies that can be accomplished
in a relatively short period.
These grants are intended for
use by scholars who are already
familiar with Korea and with
their topic, but who need time
in Korea in order to complete
their work.
Research
Assistance: Small grants
are available for a variety
of scholarly needs that are
not covered by other funding
sources, such as research assistance
and manuscript typing. These
are very small grants of up
to $500, intended to meet a
broad range of small-scale
research needs to which smaller
academic institutions and outside
funding agencies are not responsive.
Workshops
and Conferences: Partial
support for organizing conferences
on Korea, including support
for planning meetings for larger
conferences funded from other
sources. Applicants must furnish
detailed budgets showing travel
expenses and daily costs, along
with names and curriculum vitae
of key personnel.
Projects
that Enhance Korean Studies
Teaching:
A flexible category of support for
planning, workshops, and materials
related to teaching about Korea
or integrating Korean Studies
topics in broader categories
of instruction. Awards normally
will not exceed $1,000 and are
intended to assist in the development
of larger projects.
Grants
to Teachers for Instructional
Materials:
Small awards to teachers and
scholars who need to purchase
instructional materials such
as videos and CD-ROMs to enhance
Korea-related classroom instruction.
The grants are intended to assist
faculty at small institutions
who would otherwise be unable
to obtain audio-visual materials
for their Korea-related courses.
Applications must specify the
course or project in which the
materials will be used, the
estimated number of students,
and the exact title, price,
and source of the materials
to be purchased.
Korea
Related Speakers and Panels:
Awards intended to enable papers
on Korean Studies to be presented
at non-Asia related disciplinary
conferences. The grants of
up to $1,500 are especially
meant for panel organizers
to be able to invite colleagues
from Korea to participate in
panels at the meetings.
All
applicants must submit their application
on the newly-revised application
form. Inquiries and requests for
application forms should be addressed
