The Oral History Association is offering a grant of up to $3,000 to undertake oral history research in situations of crisis research in the United States and internationally. These funds may be applied to travel, per diem, or transcription costs for research in places and situations in which a longer application time schedule may be problematic. Such crisis situations include but are not limited to wars, natural disasters, political and/or economic/ethnic repression, or other currently emerging events of crisis proportions. The deadline for applications is April 15, 2009. For more information and instructions on how to apply see the Emerging Crisis Research Fund page on the Oral History Association’s web site.
