RAKOW GRANT FOR GLASS RESEARCH, CORNING MUSEUM OF GLASS

The purpose of the Rakow Grant for Glass Research is to foster scholarly research in the history of glass and the history of glassmaking. Grants may be used to cover travel, living expenses or other expenditures necessary to conduct the research or to publish it. Awards will be based on the merit of the projects proposed, the nature and extent of the contributions to glass studies, and an evaluation of the ability of the applicant to accomplish the goals as stated. Applications will be considered only if typed in English on the prescribed form.

Applications, which are reviewed by a Museum staff committee, must be received before 1st February 2012 of the year for which funding is requested. The judges are looking for a project which will lead to a finished product within the funding limits and whose research will bring the recipient to Corning. Notification of the committee's decision will be sent by 1st April 2012. Successful applicants will normally receive all of the approved funds at the beginning of the project. In the event that full funding of a project cannot be given, the applicant will be contacted immediately to determine if the project can be modified.
