Grants are awarded for specific research projects and cannot be used for travel only, conferences, lecture tours, or extended guest-professorships. Awards will fund visits during the second half of the year 2001. In conjunction with the Korea Foundation, grants are offered to assist the research of individual scholars based in North America, to improve the quality of teaching about Korea on both the college and precollege levels, and to integrate the study of Korea into the major academic disciplines. Research travel grants provide dissertation and post-doctoral research opportunities in Korea. Other small grants support research assistance, workshops and conferences, and Korean-studies teaching.
Lecturers receive a local salary and housing from their host university.
