Through a generous grant made by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to the History of Science Department and the History of Science Collections , the University of Oklahoma announces a travel fellowship program for visitors to make use of its resources for research in the History of Science. The program is designed to provide travel expenses and a reasonable per diem to researchers who reside outside the central Oklahoma area, and who have well-defined research projects that can be served by the holdings of the History of Science Collections.
Support is available for qualifying projects for periods ranging from two to eight weeks.
It is expected that pre-doctoral applicants will be graduate students actively engaged in projects for the M.A. thesis or Ph.D. dissertation that are formally approved at the student's home institution. Although there is no limitation on the subject field of investigation, applicants must demonstrate the utility of materials in the History of Science Collections. Room 521 Norman, OK 73019 Fellowship projects can be scheduled at any part of the year during which the Collections are available. Applicants preparing proposals should contact the Curator or the Assistant to the Curator for information. Chair, Dr. Steven J. Livesey .
