Subject: Grants available to travel overseas



Are you perhaps traveling from the US to Wales for Methods IX this summer?

The American Council of Learned Societies (to which ADS belongs) may have

some money for you, if you act fast! The following message just arrived from

ACLS. - Allan Metcalf



*******************************



We've have fewer requests for applications in the Travel Grant Program this

year than at this time in years past. If you have the capacity to reach

your members quickly, could you remind them about the program? The

deadline for ACLS to mail applications potential applicants is January 29.

Text follows.



Thanks!



CALL FOR PROPOSALS FROM INDIVIDUAL SCHOLARS



AMERICAN COUNCIL OF LEARNED SOCIETIES

GRANT PROGRAM FOR TRAVEL

TO INTERNATIONAL MEETINGS ABROAD



Deadline: February 1, 1996



The ACLS, in cooperation with its constituent societies, announces a

program of travel grants, awarded on a competitive basis, to enable

scholars in all fields of the humanities and humanities-related social

sciences to participate in international meetings held outside the United

States and its dependencies. Priority will be given to well-planned,

broadly international meetings and infrequently-held international

congresses. This program is funded by the Gladys Krieble Delmas

Foundation. Approximately 170 awards of $500 each (regardless of

destination) will be made to individuals to offset necessary expenses such

as air travel to and from the U.S. The postmark deadline for applications

is February 1, 1996, for travel to international meetings occurring between

June 1, 1996 and May 31, 1997. Announcement of awards will be made by the

third week of April, 1996.



Eligibility: Applicants must hold the Ph.D. or the terminal degree in

their field and must be citizens or permanent residents of the U.S.

Scholars of all ranks affiliated with institutions, as well as independent

scholars at all stages of the career, are eligible to apply. Only persons

who will read papers or have a major, official role in the meeting are

eligible for an award. Membership in an ACLS constituent society has no

bearing on eligibility.



To request application forms, interested scholars should fax the ACLS

Fellowship Office, 228 E. 45th Street, New York, NY 10017-3398, fax: (212)

949-8058, and give the following information: (1) The official name,

dates, place, and sponsorship of the meeting, (2) applicant's highest

academic degree and proposed role in the meeting, and address to which

application should be sent.



Only applications from individuals on their own behalf will be accepted.

Conference planning committees or sponsoring organizations may not apply.
