Research Grants & Awards Since it first opened its Research Room in 1959, the Truman Library has welcomed nearly 14,000 historians, writers and scholars from 40 nations and nearly every state in the Union. The Truman Library Institute is proud of the strong role it has played supporting scholarly research throughout its fifty-three year history. The rich scholarship that exists regarding one of America’s greatest Presidents can surely be attributed to the cumulative $2.3 million the Truman Library Institute had provided to scholars and researchers via Research Grants, Dissertation Fellowships, and the biennial Scholar’s Award and Truman Book Award.
