[Yunah Sung]

Deadline Extended!
Accepting Applications until February 15th

The Korean Collections Consortium of North America (KCCNA
<https://kccna.libguides.com/home>) is pleased to announce the KCCNA
Research Travel Grants to assist Korean Studies students and scholars
worldwide in their use of specialized library resources at the thirteen
KCCNA member universities. This program was funded by generous grants from
the Korea Foundation for three years for 2018-2020, but the 2020 program
was canceled due to the pandemic. We are excited to offer the last and
final year of the program in 2023. This research travel grant program is
open to anyone in the world *except for those in Korea *who already have
access to extensive Korean resources. The proposal deadline for the current
cycle is January 31, 2023.

1. Description and Purpose

The Korean Collections Consortium of North America (KCCNA) was created in
1994 with generous grants from the Korea Foundation. Its members
cooperatively develop and share specialized Korean Studies scholarly
resources and provide library services to a wider audience beyond their own
communities. Current membership consists of the thirteen largest Korean
Studies libraries in the US and Canada.  The KCCNA Research Travel Grants
program was created to provide partial funding to scholars who need to
travel a long distance in order to access the resources and services of
KCCNA member libraries.  See the list of members and their specialized
collections at KCCNA Members
<https://kccna.libguides.com/c.php?g=798675&p=5709996>.

2. Eligibility

This program is open to anyone in the world except for those in Korea who
already have access to extensive Korean resources.

3. Selection Criteria

While we will consider all applications based on the strengths of the
research proposal and the target library’s overall ability to support the
research, applications that address the following criteria will receive
preferential review:

   from KCCNA’s specialized resources. A list of the specific resources you
   wish to use at the library, including the links or the call numbers if
   applicable, is required
   - The need for *onsite* research at the target library (why that
   particular library and not elsewhere?)
   - Justifications for travel for access (any other means for access such
   as online or ILL?)
