Greenleaf Library Fellowships
The Latin American Library at Tulane University is pleased to announce the Richard E. Greenleaf Library Fellowships to support research at the library. These fellowships are made possible through the generosity of Tulane emeritus professor and distinguished historian Richard E. Greenleaf. Their purpose is to offer researchers who permanently reside in any country of Latin America or the Caribbean short-term residential fellowships to use the resources of the Latin American Library at Tulane to conduct research in any field of the humanities or social sciences.
Up to three fellowships will be granted every year, beginning in 2007. Each fellowship will cover the cost of round-trip airfare as well as housing and living expenses, for a period of one to three months. Fellowships are available to any qualified scholar--including independent researchers and advanced graduate students--who resides permanently in any country in Latin America or the Caribbean. Applications from scholars of any nationality who are permanent residents of any country in the region will be considered, but preference will be given to citizens of Latin American or Caribbean nations. Fellowship winners will be expected to relocate to New Orleans for the duration of the fellowship and to give a public presentation at Tulane of their work-in-progress during their stay. Fellowships may be held at any time between July 20, 2008 and June 30, 2009.
The application deadline for fellowships for 2008-2009 is 5pm Central Time, April 18, 2008.
Aside from the residential requirement, criteria for selection include:
* The merit of the research project and proposal, which should be in any field of the humanities or social sciences.
* The relevance to the project of the resources of the Latin American Library.
* The scholarly achievements and merit of the candidate, and the significance of his/her project.

FORD-LASA Special Projects
(From Joy Langston, LAPIS Secretary):
LASA is pleased to announce the fourth cycle of the Ford-LASA Special Projects competition, made possible by a contribution by the Ford Foundation to the LASA Endowment Fund. Funds provided will support such activities as trans-regional research initiatives, conferences, working groups, the development of curriculum and teaching resources, and similar projects organized and carried out by LASA Sections or by ad hoc groups of LASA members. Proposers are encouraged to think creatively about how this funding might be used to advance the principles of hemispheric collaboration among Latin American Studies scholars and teachers. Proposals that do not assign priority to this objective will not be considered for funding.
Proposals should identify the participants in the proposed activity, the objectives of the project, and the process by which those objectives are to be achieved. The total amount requested in each proposal may not exceed $12,500. Grants may be combined with other sources of funding, and may be used to initiate projects that continue with funding from other sources. No project or group will be funded more than once.
Proposals of no more than five (5) single-spaced pages in length must be received by the LASA Secretariat by March 15, 2008. Proposals will be reviewed by a panel of four LASA members appointed by the President for each program cycle, chaired by the Vice President of LASA. Applicants will be informed of the results within two months after the submission deadline.
Preference will be given to projects that involve trans-regional collaboration in the Western Hemisphere, and which are intended to result in publication of project results. It may be possible for LASA to disseminate project results, including conference papers, through its website, which would not preclude eventual publication in other media. Project directors are encouraged to consider submitting a panel proposal based on their work for presentation at the June 2009 LASA Congress. Within 18 months of the announcement of the award recipients, the project directors will be required to submit a report on the activities undertaken with Special Project funding, suitable for publication in the LASA Forum.
If you have any questions about this competition, please write to Milagros Pereyra-Rojas (lasa@pitt.edu).
