The Cuban Research Institute (CRI), the Kimberly Green Latin American and Caribbean Center (LACC), and the Florida International University Libraries are pleased to announce the competition for the 2026 Díaz-Ayala Library Travel Grants and request applications. The grants provide scholars and graduate students the opportunity to conduct research on the special collections related to Cuba and Cuban Americans at the FIU Green Library, thereby expanding access to its unique holdings and enhancing its value as a national resource.

 

CRI, LACC, and the FIU Libraries are offering three research travel grants of up to $2,000 each to offset the costs of a minimum one-week stay (five working days) to consult the collections. Scholars and graduate students in the humanities and the social sciences whose work will be enhanced by using the resources of the collections are encouraged to apply. Priority will be given to scholars who are not previous recipients of the award.  Two of the awards will be given to U.S.-based scholars or graduate students, in accordance with the requirements of LACC’s U.S. Department of Education Title VI Grant. Those residing in other countries are encouraged to apply for the remaining grant. Scholars are encouraged to complete their travel by May 29, 2026
