The grants will be available up to $500 for each candidate, depending on the need and the location of the individual.

The East Asian Library at Pitt consists of over 490,000 volumes/items in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and English. The primary focus of the collections is humanities and social sciences.
Applications received before May 31, 2019 will receive priority consideration. To apply, please send a letter of application with a brief description of your research topic, a curriculum vitae, the type/subject of materials you need, and an estimated budget to Haihui Zhang, Head of the East Asian Library at haihuiz@pitt.edu
