Dr. Dimitrije Pivnicki Award in Neuro-History
Please note that we are
accepting applications for this research travel grant to the Osler Library of
the History of Medicine in Montreal, Quebec.
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.
The
award supports a student or scholar wishing to carry out research utilizing the
rich archival and monographic holdings at McGill University, such as the
Penfield Archive in the Osler Library, and other resources available at the
Osler Library, the Montreal Neurological Institute and the McGill University
Archives. The Osler Library’s collections are listed in the McGill Library Catalogue and the Osler Library Archives
Collection website.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 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.
