[Lili Luo]

The American Library Association’s Office for Research and Statistics is
accepting applications from innovative researchers for the annual Carroll
Preston Baber Research Grant. The $3,000 grant is given to one or more
librarians or library educators who will conduct research, over the course
of one year, that could lead to an improvement in services to any specified
group of people.



The proposed project will aim to answer a question of vital importance to
the library community that is national in scope. Among the review panel
criteria are:

 originality of the research question(s);

   - a clearly defined research problem;
   - innovative quality of the project and/or use of technology in a new
   way;
   - cooperative nature of the project;
   - institutional commitment to the project;
   - practical value of the project for library users.



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



Deadline for submissions is Jan. 15, 2016. The jury will announce the award
by late March.



The Carroll Preston Baber Research Grant is funded by the American Library
Association.
