Pittfilm Travel to Collections Grant (University of Pittsburgh)

The University of Pittsburgh's Slavic and East European video and DVD
collection is the leading collection outside of the Russian Federation,
with a holding of more than 6,000 items, including extensive holdings in
Russian, Slovak, and Central Asian cinema.  Online information about the
Pitt collection, which is non-circulating, is available at
http://www.pitt.edu/~slavic/video/index.html.

Supported by Pitt's Office of the Dean of Arts and Sciences, the Russian
and East European Studies Center (REES), the Slavic Department, and the
Film Studies Program, the 2007-2008 Pittfilm Travel to Collections Grant
solicits applications from scholars with developed research projects
that would benefit from on-site access to this collection. The selection
committee would look favorably on those applications that include a
research presentation as a public lecture. 

Travel awards are $ 1,200 each, intended to defray costs of domestic
airfare, two nights' lodging, and a modest per diem for three days.  Two
scholars will be chosen in the 2007-2008 competition, one for each
semester of next academic year. 

 DEADLINE: 1 April 2007.

Recipients will be notified by 15 May 2007 and funds must be spent by 30
April 2008.

Interested scholars should send an electronic copy of a one-page,
single-spaced project description (including preferred dates and a list
of anticipated research materials in the Pitt collection) to
Prof.Vladimir Padunov at padunov at pitt.edu with the Subject Heading
"Pittfilm Travel-to-Collections Grant."
