Pittfilm Travel to Collections Grant (University of Pittsburgh)



The University of Pittsburgh's Slavic, Central Asian, and Eastern and Central 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 2008-2009 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 2008-2009 competition, one for each semester of this academic year.



 DEADLINE: 15 October 2008.



Recipients will be notified by 20 October 2008 and funds must be spent by 30 April 2009.



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<mailto:padunov at pitt.edu> with the Subject Heading "Pittfilm Travel-to-Collections Grant."
