The Japan Collection Library Travel Award is made possible by anonymous donors and matching funds from the UHM Center for Japanese Studies. The UHM Library will award a grant on a competitive basis to defray travel expenses for faculty and graduate-level students of Japanese studies/East Asia studies at U.S. institutions outside of Hawaii, who will use materials onsite at the UHM Library’s Japan Collection https://guides.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/japan/index
After travel is completed, a grant recipient will be reimbursed for authorized travel expenses in accordance with UHM University travel policies, not to exceed the maximum amount of the grant.
During their visit, the awardees are expected to make brief presentations about their research to the UH community to learn from each other, if schedule permits. These presentations don't need to include what they just learn from this awarded visit.
