2026 Research Travel Grants open!

The University of Florida Center for Latin American Studies is sponsoring Library Travel Research Grants for Spring & Summer 2026.

Their call for this year is open, with applications being accepted until April 12, 2026.

All travel must be completed by August 13, 2026.

The grants are to enable faculty from qualified U.S. colleges and universities to access the extensive resources of the Latin American and Caribbean Collection. The grants are funded by a Title VI National Resource Center grant from the U.S. Department of Education.

The UF Libraries’ Latin American and Caribbean Collection (LACC) is one of the leading research collections of its kind. It consists of over ‌500,000 volumes, and includes all disciplines, although literature, the humanities, and the social sciences are best represented.  A sampling of the primary sources available in Special Collections can be found listed here.
