Bakken Travel Grants 2012

Scholars and artists are invited to apply for travel fellowships and
grants, which the Bakken Museum in Minneapolis offers to encourage
research in its collection of books, journals, manuscripts, prints, and
instruments. The awards are to be used to help defray the expenses of
travel, subsistence, and other direct costs of conducting research at
the Bakken for researchers who must travel to the Twin Cities and pay
for temporary housing in order to conduct research at the Bakken.

1. Visiting Research Fellowships are awarded up to a maximum of
$1,500; the minimum period of residence is two weeks, and preference is
given to researchers who are interested in collaborating informally for
a day or two with Bakken staff during their research visit.

2. Research Travel Grants are awarded up to a maximum of $500
(domestic) and $750 (foreign); the minimum period of residence is one
week.
The next application deadline for either type of research assistance is
February17, 2012.
