Grants-In-Aid
The Victor and Joy Wouk Grant-in-Aid Program offers research assistance up to $2000 for work in the Papers of Victor Wouk in the Caltech Archives. The Maurice A. Biot Archives Fund offers research assistance up to $2000 to use the collections at the Caltech Archives. For all funds, applications will be accepted from students working towards a graduate degree or from established scholars. Awards are not limited to U.S. citizens. Graduate students must have completed one year of study prior to receiving a grant-in-aid. For the Biot award, preference will be given to those working in the history of technology, especially in
the fields of aeronautics, applied mechanics and geophysics. No
applicant may receive more than two awards, and awards will not be given to the same applicant in consecutive 12-month periods.

Grants-in-aid, which may be taxable, may be used for travel and living expenses, for photocopy or other photo-reproduction costs related to the research project, and for miscellaneous research expenses.
