JOHN J. PISANO TRAVEL GRANTS AT THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH

BACKGROUND
The John J. Pisano Travel Grants are administered through the DeWitt 
Stetten, Jr., Museum of Medical Research at the National Institutes of 
Health (NIH) for the purpose of encouraging historical resarch relating 
to the NIH intramural programs. The grants are named in honor of Dr. 
John J. Pisano (1929-1985), a distinguished biochemist and former chief 
of the Section on Physiological Chemistry, Laboratory of Chemistry, 
National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.  The program is funded by 
the John J. Pisano Memorial Fund of the Foundation for Advanced 
Education in the Sciences, Inc., a non-feeral organization associated 
with the NIH.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE AWARDS
The Pisano grants will be awarded for travel costs to Bethesda, Maryland, 
to conduct historical research relating to the NIH intramural programs.  
For information about the history of the NIH and its intramural 
programs, the NIH Historical Office maintains a bibliography available 
on the World Wide Web at http://www.nih.gov/od/museum/nihbib.htm.  
General information about the 25 Institutes, Centers, and Divisions of 
the NIH is also available on the NIH Web site at http://www.nih.gov.  
Questions may be addressed to the NIH Historian, Dr. Victoria A. 
Harden, at 301-496-6610; vharden@helix.nih.gov; or at the address to 
which applications should be sent (see below).  Recipients are required 
to acknowledge the award in any publication resulting from the research 
supported and to furnish the Stetten Museum with one copy of any 
article or book resulting from the support.

SIZE AND FREQUENCY OF AWARDS
One or two grants each year are expected to be available at the level of 
$1,500 for United States residents and $2,000 for recipients who reside 
outside the United States.  This will be a lump sum award.  Recipients 
are responsible for making all arrangements for travel to and 
accommodations in Bethesda.  There are no additional funds for expenses.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE
Applicants must submit by mail (regular or express) one copy of a narrative 
description of the proposed project, not to exceed 1500 words, excluding 
references, explaining the research and what aspect of it will be 
assisted by the ability to travel to the NIH in Bethesda, Maryland. 
Applicants must also submit a curriculum vitae and one supporting 
letter from a referee qualified to comment on the scholarly merit of 
the proposal.  Applications for an award during the 1998-99 academic 
year must be received in the NIH Historical Office by 5:00 p.m. EST on 
31 March 1998.  They should addressed to:
