Dr. Dimitrije Pivnicki Award in Neuro-History
Please note that we are accepting applications for this
research travel grant to the Osler Library in Montreal.
The Dr. Dimitrije Pivnicki Award in Neuro-History is
offered by the Osler Library and the Montreal Neurological Institute and
Library to support research in the field of neuropsychiatry and neuro-history.
The award was established in 2012 by the family and friends of Dr. Pivnicki
(1918-2007), who practiced and taught psychiatry at the Allen Memorial
Institute of McGill University from 1956 to 1996.
With degrees
in law and medicine, he had a wide and eclectic interest
in classic and modern languages and literature, and a keen appreciation of the
history of neuropsychiatry, an area of scholarship that will be advanced by
this award.
Terms: The value varies depending on the project, to a
maximum of approximately $4,000. The recipient is required to carry out
research in Montreal during the
2014-15 fiscal year (May 2014-April 2015). The award may
be renewable.
Requirements: We invite applications from a variety of
individuals, including graduate students, scholars and professionals.
Recipients are required to submit a report of their work suitable for
publication in the Osler Library Newsletter<http://www.mcgill.ca/library/library-using/branches/osler-library/oslernews/>
and may be requested to give a brief presentation at the
University.
Deadline is February 1, 2014. Information on how to apply
is found on our website<http://www.mcgill.ca/library/branches/osler/pivnicki>.
