Re: research fellowships



The Rockefeller Archive Center has a Grant-in-Aid program designed to promote and support research in the collections. The program makes awards of up to $2,500 to researchers, including doctoral candidates, whose projects require substantial research at the Center. Scholars outside the U.S. and Canada may apply for awards up to $3,000.

Grant recipients are requested to submit a short report on their research at the Center. Edited versions of or excerpts from these reports may be used in the Center?s publications. Recipients also are asked to provide the Center with a copy of any publications resulting from research conducted as a result of the grant.

The application is available at: http://www.rockefeller.edu/archive.ctr/ac.giap.html

Hi all,

I have a couple of questions about fellowships in the archives. We have recently been given a donation by a member who wants to establish two annual fellowships for individuals wishing to conduct research in our archives. The money is not significant­-probably $1500 for a "Senior Fellow" and $1000 for a "Fellow." I have been asked to come up with some criteria for awarding these fellowships. One detail I am considering is the fact that the award will likely go to somebody who is already conducting research here, since the stipend is probably not significant enough to be the reason that attracts someone to researching here.

Does anyone out there have any set policies about awarding fellowships (especially that you'd be willing to share)? What do you expect to get in return? Our stipend isn't large enough to demand a serious body of work be written here, but clearly I am interested in seeing our Archives utilized extensively, and cited as a source, etc. What are the criteria for qualifying for such a fellowship? Do you emphasize time spent, or other measurable factors?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
