DIAZ-AYALA CUBAN AND LATIN AMERICAN POPULAR MUSIC COLLECTION TRAVEL GRANTSCuban Research Institue, Florida International University, Univesity Park, DM363, Miami, Fl. 33199 Description: The grants will provide graduate students and scholars the opportunity to visit the Díaz-Ayala Music Collection at the FIU Green Library, thereby enhancing its value as a national resource. CRI and the Libraries are offering two research stipends of up to $1500 each to offset the costs of a minimum one week stay to use the collection. Scholars in the humanities and the social sciences whose work will be enhanced by using the resources of the collection are encouraged to apply. Priority will be given to scholars who are not previous recipients of the award. Due to our fiscal year, at least one award recipient will be required to complete his/her travel by June 30, 2008. As a condition of the award, recipients will give one lunchtime lecture to interested FIU faculty and students on their recent research, and following their travel, will submit a one-page single spaced summary of their work in the Collection and suggestions on how the Collection can be improved. Any publications resulting from research undertaken at FIU during the grant period should acknowledge the Cuban Research Institute and the FIU Libraries for their support. The Díaz-Ayala Cuban and Latin American Popular Music Collection is the most extensive publicly available collection of Cuban music in the United States.
