Every week, Perspectives Daily showcases a new grant, fellowship, or scholarship of interest to historians which has been posted to our free Calendar. This week we are featuring the Michael E. DeBakey Fellowship in the History of Medicine.
The National Library of Medicine (NLM) is pleased to announce that applications are open to its Michael E. DeBakey Fellowship in the History of Medicine, supporting research in the NLM's historical collections.
The collections include the Michael E. DeBakey papers representing the diverse areas in which DeBakey made a lasting impact, such as surgery, medical education, and health care policy. The NLM collections span ten centuries, encompass a variety of digital and physical formats, and originate from nearly every part of the globe.
Anyone over the age of 18, of any academic discipline and status, who has not previously received this fellowship may apply. Non-US citizens may apply. Group applications should be submitted under the name of a single principal researcher.
