The length of the grant will depend on the applicant’s research proposal but is ordinarily between two and four weeks. Library Research Grants can be used from May of the year they are awarded through the following April.
In general, the application opens in October and closes in January. Applicants are notified in April. The application period for 2027-2028 opens in October 2026 and closes in January 2027.
**Friends of the Princeton University Library Research Grant** The bulk of the research grants are funded through the Friends of the Princeton University Library. Funding for grants may also be supplemented by: * The Program in Hellenic Studies, with assistance from the Stanley J. Seeger Fund supports a limited number of Library grants in Hellenic studies.
* The Elmer Adler Fund supports Research Grants in Graphic Arts, and the Cotsen Children’s Library supports grants in its collection on aspects of children’s books. * The Maxwell Fund supports research on materials regarding Portuguese-speaking cultures.
* The Sid Lapidus ’59 Research Fund for Studies of the Age of Revolution and the Enlightenment in the Atlantic World and covers work using materials pertinent to this topic donated by Mr. Lapidus as well as other also relevant materials in the collections. * The Geiss Hsu Foundation, which supports research of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), broadly defined. _*Recipient selection for 2026-2027 was by special committee.
_ **Will Noel Innovative Cultural Heritage Research Grant** Will Noel advocated for the democratization of access to cultural heritage materials, as well as employing new and cutting-edge technologies to understand them, most notably with the Archimedes Palimpsest Link is external. This fund aims to support work in line with Noel’s vision.
Specifically, it is intended for cultural heritage professionals to work with Princeton University Library’s Special and Distinctive Collections and the Library IT Digital Studio’s specialized photographic equipment to gain new insights into our collective past.
Successful applicants will be awarded a grant to visit Princeton to conduct research within our holdings with an emphasis on identifying materials for special photographic investigation. The Library’s Digital Studio tools include a Selene photometric system, multispectral imaging (MSI), Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI), and photogrammetry.
These tools have allowed the recovery of lost, obscured, or invisible text, and rendered low-relief surfaces legible. More information can be found on this website: Specialized Digital Imaging & Analysis at PUL Link is external We will not accept applications for a FPUL Research Grant and a Will Noel Innovative Cultural Heritage Grant in the same cycle. Read the FAQ below before beginning the application.
* Set up an account in the application system Link is external, Link opens in new window * Complete application form * Upload a curriculum vitae or resume (Word or PDF) * Upload your Project Narrative (no more than 1,000 words); your narrative should include the relevance to the proposed research of the unique resources found in the Princeton University Library collections * Provide two letters of recommendation; invitations are sent directly from the system to the recommenders * Submit your application once all of the items above are received.
The Princeton University Library Research Grant is a monetary award to support individuals’ personal research in the library’s special collections. This is not a fellowship and grant recipients are not considered employees of the University during their research visit.
Applicants are urged to consult the Library’s website for detailed descriptions of the materials held by Special Collections, the East Asian Library and the Marquand Library of Art and Archaeology. Applicants should have specific Princeton University Library resources in mind as they prepare their proposals.
Applications focused on the general circulating collections and electronic resources of the Princeton University Library will not be considered.
A committee consisting of members of the faculty, the Library staff, and members of the Friends of the Princeton University Library will award the grants on the basis of the relevance of the proposal to unique holdings of the library, the merits and significance of the project, and the applicant’s scholarly qualifications. ### Before Applying for a Grant When does the application open/close?
For each cycle, the application opens in October and closes in January. The application period for 2026-2027 is closed. Who can apply for a grant?
Doctoral students, recent doctorates, tenured and non-tenured faculty, and independent scholars from anywhere in the world are welcome to apply. Special consideration is given to researchers whose current institutional base makes it challenging to physically access Princeton’s campus. The FPUL grant program is not open to current affiliates of Princeton University.
If I apply for a grant, will I automatically receive funds? No, FPUL grants are the result of a two-tiered competitive process. Stipends for successful grants are disbursed at the beginning of the research period.
Can I see the application before creating an account? You are welcome to view a blank, sample application. Link downloads document What kind of proposals are funded?
We seek to fund proposals on new, important, and original topics. Projects involving well-used collections on which much has already been published are far less likely to be funded. Applications from doctoral students, recent doctorates, independent scholars, or those with limited or no institutional resources to support their research are especially welcome.
**The proposal should address specifically the relevance of unique resources found in the Princeton University Library collections to the proposed research. ** The Friends have allocated funds to provide honoraria for articles based on PUL research published in its refereed journal, the _Princeton University Library Chronicle_. Applicants can opt to be contacted by the editor of the _Chronicle_ to discuss their research.
I am a former recipient of a PUL research grant. May I apply again? There is no rule against applying for a second grant, and there have been successful second research grant applicants over the years.
In an application for a second grant, the applicant should clearly explain the need for a second round of support. An application for a different project is more likely to be funded. If the proposed project is an extension of a previous FPUL grant-funded project, the applicant would need to detail why additional support is needed.
Given that we receive many more applications than we can fund and that each year many worthy applications do not get funded, there is a higher bar for this type of application to be supported. The materials I am interested in are on microfilm or are of a small volume. Should I apply?
Generally speaking, applications that seek to primarily use materials also available on microfilm are not funded. Projects needing only a modest amount of materials that can be fulfilled by a digitization request are not funded. I want to have access to Firestone’s general collections.
Will this program support that? The purpose of this program is to support work involving the unique resources found in Princeton University Library. The access grant recipients receive is to Special Collections and rare materials found in the East Asian and Marquand Libraries.
For more information on accessing the general collections, please review the Library’s Visitor Services page. Applications focused on the general circulating collections and electronic resources of the Princeton University Library will not be considered for this grant program. Will the University sponsor my visa?
No, these are not appointments through the Dean of the Faculty’s office, and therefore not eligible for visa sponsorship. If you are not a U.S. citizen, you should consult with your home institution about visa issues before applying/traveling. Is my grant award taxable?
Yes. U.S. citizens will need to report the grant as income. All others will have 30% tax withheld from their award.
If the applicant’s country has a tax treaty with the United States, they may recover the withheld taxes by filing a U.S. tax return in the year following their research visit. How do I access the application? The application portal opens in the fall of each year and closes in January of the adjacent year.
The portal for the 2027-2028 grant cycle will open in October 2027. How much time am I expected to spend conducting research? Recipients of FPUL grants are expected to spend the equivalent of grant-funded time conducting research in Special Collections.
For example, a recipient receiving a two-week grant will be expected to spend roughly 75 hours conducting research during their visit. Will I be required to report on my research? Yes, recipients of FPUL grants (including those supplemented by our funding partners) are required to submit a report on their research as a condition of receiving funding.
Reports are between 400 and 600 words and if necessary, will be edited for length and clarity. Reports will be published on the grant website. Is there a limit to the amount of photoduplication/digitization I can request as a grant recipient?
Yes, because the grants are awarded in part to create access to material not currently available digitally, the expectation is that grant recipients will use their research visit to consult non-digitized material as a matter of priority. Once research has concluded and the research report is received by the Grants Team, digitization requests will be processed.
Please note digitization requests will be held to the library’s limit of 300 pages per request/project. Can I apply for a FPUL Grant and another PUL grant e.g. the Will Noel Innovative Cultural Heritage Grant, during the same FPUL grant cycle?
As the FPUL Research Grant is designed to support individual research conducted primarily in the reading rooms of Princeton University Library Special Collections, you may not accept funding from more than one university research funding source during the awarded grant cycle. Nor can FPUL Grant funding be used to support participation in campus conferences, workshops, or symposia.
Disclosure: If awarded an FPUL Research grant, we will ask you to attest that you are not receiving overlapping funding from another University source for the awarded grant period, i.e. April of the award year to May of the following year. ### After Applying for a Grant How do I know my application has been received?
The Grant Application Portal Link is external, Link opens in new window will send a confirmation email once you have submitted your application. Please note: Applications are not automatically submitted. You must click the green Submit button once all components of the application have been uploaded in order to be considered for the FPUL Research Grant.
I have applied for a grant. How and when will I find out if I have been successful? All applicants for the 2026-2027 cycle will be informed of their status via email in May 2026.
In order to ensure grant-related messages are not sent to spam, please add noreply@mail. smapply. net to your safe sender list.
If I email before then, can I learn of my status? No, the review process does not conclude until just prior to notification. Once the decisions have been made, applicants are informed immediately.
### After Being Awarded a Grant I’ve received a research grant award. How do I collect my funds? The payment for your award will not be requested until after your arrival.
If you are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, you will be required to complete a W-9 Form which can be uploaded through a secure portal. For foreign nationals, the forms required vary and you should contact pulgrant@princeton. edu for more information.
Non-US citizens should especially note, once all paperwork is submitted, it can still take several weeks for you to receive your payment and it **may not be delivered until after your time on campus**. Therefore, recipients should not depend on these funds to be available to cover expenses as they are incurred. We also recommend that grant recipients acquire their own travel insurance ahead of their research trip.
Will I have WiFi access while on campus? Free wireless access to the University’s network is available. More information can be found on the Princeton University Library website Link opens in new window or on the Office of Information Technology website Link is external, Link opens in new window.
Princeton University also participates in the Eduroam federated network access service. This service allows visitors from participating institutions to gain access to the Princeton University wireless network using authentication credentials from their home institution. Can the library sponsor me so that I am eligible to use campus services such as the gym, have library borrowing privileges, etc.?
Unfortunately, no. Your award does not entitle you to use campus facilities where departmental sponsorship is required. When should I plan my trip? Once awarded, grant trips can commence starting May of that year through the following April.
The dates the Library will be closed are listed on the Library’s website Link is external, Link opens in new window. We STRONGLY SUGGEST AVOIDING coming to campus during Reunions and Commencement.
The Special Collections Reading Rooms are closed on University Holidays including Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day (July 4th), Labor Day, Thanksgiving and the following Friday, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day and the three business days between these holidays.
