New England Regional Research Fellowships

The New England Regional Fellowship Consortium, a collaboration of at least

eleven major cultural agencies, will offer a minimum of five awards in

2001-2002.  Each grant will provide a stipend of $5,000 for eight weeks of

research at participating institutions.  Applications are welcome from

anyone with a serious need to use the collections and facilities of the

organizations. For the next fellowship cycle, the postmark deadline will be

February 1, 2001.

The Consortium's grants are designed to encourage projects that draw on the

resources of several agencies.  Each award will be for research at a minimum

of three different institutions.  Fellows must stay at each of these

organizations for at least two weeks.

Society, John Nicholas Brown Center for the Study of American Civilization,
