2008 DENA EPSTEIN AWARD

The Dena Epstein Award for Archival and Library Research in American Music
was created in 1995 through a generous gift from Morton and Dena Epstein to
the Music Library Association. Requests are currently being accepted for
one or more grants to be awarded for the year 2008. The amount to be
awarded is $2100. The decision of the Dena Epstein Award Committee and the
Board of Directors of the Music Library Association will be announced at
the MLA annual meeting in Newport, Rhode Island, which will be held
February 17-24, 2008.

A grant may be awarded to support research in archives or libraries (both
nationally and internationally) on any aspect of American music. There are
no restrictions as to applicant's age, nationality, profession, or
institutional affiliation. All proposals will be reviewed entirely based on
merit. Awards may be presented to an individual applicant or divided among
multiple applicants. At its discretion, the committee may choose not to
award a grant during any particular year. An applicant who has not received
an Epstein Award for the first year of application may resubmit a proposal
in the two following years for any one project. An applicant may receive
only one award for any one project.

Applicants must submit the following documents:

1. A brief research proposal (under 10 pages) that includes:

a) a description of the project

b) a detailed budget for the project, indicating:
1) the amount of funding requested (capital purchases such as computer
equipment and furniture are ineligible)
2) justification for the funding
3) additional sources of funding

c) a demonstration of how the applicant's research will contribute to the
study and understanding of American music

2. A curriculum vitae of the applicant.

3. Three letters of support from librarians and/or scholars knowledgeable
about American music.

The committee will accept both electronic and print submissions. If
submitting by mail, please include four copies of all documents. If
submitting electronically, proposals must be in Microsoft Word or PDF and
be sent as e-mail attachments.

Please send the required documentation to the chair of the Dena Epstein
