Carroll Preston Baber Research Grant Call for Proposals

Do you have a project that is just waiting for the right funding?  Are you thinking \
about ways that libraries can improve services to users?

The American Library Association (ALA) gives an annual grant for those conducting \
research that will lead to the improvement of services to users.  The Carroll Preston \
Baber Research Grant is given to one or more librarians or library educators who will \
conduct innovative research that could lead to an improvement in services to any \
specified group of people.

The grant, up to $3,000, will be given to a proposed project that aims to answer a \
question of vital importance to the library community that is national in scope. \
                Among the review panel criteria are:
*             The research problem is clearly defined, with a specific question or \
questions that can be answered by collecting data. The applicant(s) clearly describe \
a strategy for data collection whose methods are appropriate to the research \
question(s). A review of the literature, methodologies, etc. is not considered \
research (e.g., methodology review rather than application of a methodology) for \
purposes of the award, except where the literature review is the primary method of \
                collecting data.
*             The research question focuses on benefits to library users and should \
                be applied and have practical value as opposed to theoretical.
*             The applicant(s) demonstrate ability to undertake and successfully \
complete the project. The application provides evidence that sufficient time and \
resources have been allocated to the effort. Appropriate institutional commitment to \
the project has been secured.

Any ALA member may apply, and the Jury would welcome projects that involve both a \
practicing librarian and a researcher.

Extended Deadline is January 22, 2016.

Procedures and an application form are available at:
http://www.ala.org/offices/ors/orsawards/baberresearchgrant/babercarroll.  See the \
section on How to Apply

innovative research that could lead to an improvement in services to any specified \
group of people.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The grant, up to $3,000, will be given to a proposed project \

that can be answered by collecting data. The applicant(s) clearly describe a strategy \
for data collection  whose methods are appropriate to the research question(s). A \
review of the literature, methodologies, etc. is not considered research (e.g., \
methodology review rather than application of a methodology) for purposes of the \
award, except where the literature  review is the primary method of collecting data. \

project has been secured. <o:p> </o:p></p>
