The Paul Klemperer Fellowship provides support for research using the collections of the New York Academy of Medicine Library as a historical resource. The Audrey and William H. Helfand Fellowship supports work in the medical humanities other than history of medicine. This may include scholarly work in a humanistic discipline as it relates to health or the medical endeavor, or a creative project in the arts related to health or medicine. Although residence is not required, preference will be given to applicants planning to utilize the resources of the Academy Library. Please let me know if I can be of any help to you in this process.
Admission is free, but pre-registration is required.
Sessions will be held at the College of Public Health and the Louis de la Parte Florida Mental Health Institute, and a reception will follow the meetings. We would like to have MANY COPH students, as well as junior faculty, participating in the 2001 HSC research day. Please email Ellen Kent if you have any questions. Students must submit their papers to faculty sponsors or to the person designated at their school by January 26, 2001. Schools should forward their selection for best single discipline paper and best interdisciplinary paper to the appropriate participating professional association by February 6, 2001.
