FRANCIS C. WOOD INSTITUTE FOR THE HISTORY OF MEDICINE
RESIDENT RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS
Wood Fellowships
Women's Committee Fellowships
Foundation for the History of Women in Medicine Fellowships
The Francis C. Wood Institute for the History of Medicine at the College of
Physicians of Philadelphia is pleased to announce the availability of
short-term grants for 2005-2006.
All three fellowship programs carry a maximum grant of $1000, and require at
least one week's residence at the College of Physicians. Grants will be
awarded to scholars engaged in projects requiring use of the Historical
Medical Library or Mütter Museum between July 2005 and June 2006. The grants
are intended for travel to Philadelphia or to offset income loss and
research expenses.
Wood Fellowships are general research fellowships in medical history, and
may be used for work on any subject covered by the collections of the
library or museum. The Wood Institute acknowledges the annual contributions
of the College's Women's Committee to the Wood Fellowship Fund, and
designates up to four grantees each year as "Women's Committee Fellows."
Women's Committee Fellows will be selected from the general pool of Wood
Fellowship applicants.
This year the Foundation for the History of Women in Medicine is supporting
up to two research Fellows in the College Library. Foundation Fellows will
be selected from a separate pool and applications will be judged by a joint
committee of the Wood Institute and the Foundation. Foundation Fellowships
are offered specifically for research related to the history of women and
medicine. Preference will be given to projects that deal specifically with
women as physicians or other health workers, but proposals dealing with the
history of women's health issues will be considered. Foundation Fellows are
specifically invited to utilize the Archives and Special Collections on
Women in Medicine at the Drexel University College of Medicine in addition
to the College's collections. Arrangements must be made independently with
the Archives.
APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS. Anyone with a legitimate research need for the
print, manuscript, and artifactual collections of the College of Physicians
is invited to apply. Applicants should submit proposals of no more than one
thousand words, including necessary length of residence, historical
materials to be used, and a budget (with specific information on travel,
lodging, and research expenses), along with a curriculum vitae and one
letter of recommendation.
APPLICATION DEADLINE. The deadline for the 2005-06 cycle is March 1, 2005.
