Grants-In-Aid

The Victor and Joy Wouk Grant-in-Aid Program offers research assistance up
to $2000 for work in the Papers of Victor Wouk in the Caltech Archives.
The Maurice A. Biot Archives Fund offers research assistance up to $2000
to use the collections at the Caltech Archives.  For all funds,
applications will be accepted from students working towards a graduate
degree or from established scholars.  Awards are not limited to U.S.
citizens.  Graduate students must have completed one year of study prior
to receiving a grant-in-aid.  For the Biot award, preference will be given
to those working in the history of technology, especially in the fields of
aeronautics, applied mechanics and geophysics.  No applicant may receive
more than two awards, and awards will not be given to the same applicant
in consecutive 12-month periods.

Grants-in-aid, which may be taxable, may be used for travel and living
expenses, for photocopy or other photo-reproduction costs related to the
research project, and for miscellaneous research expenses.
