Title:  Garfield Research Fellowship in the History of Information
Science

The Medical Library Association Eugene Garfield Research Fellowship
promotes and supports research in the history of information science.
The $5000 fellowship, established in 2013, is to be used for
research-related purposes regarding the history of information science
to increase the underlying knowledgebase in this area and enhance the
current and future practice of the information professions, particularly
health sciences librarianship.  Health sciences librarians and
information scientists, health professionals, researchers, educators,
and administrators are eligible. Applicants must have a master's or
doctor's degree or be enrolled in a program leading to such a degree and
demonstrate a commitment to the health sciences. The fellowship is not
designed to support research for a doctoral dissertation or master’s
thesis.

The award is not restricted to disbursement in a single year and funding
may be disbursed over a period of up to two years depending on the needs
of the research fellow. The award may be used to supplement or extend
other awards, including other private or government-supported
fellowships, but is not contingent on receiving other awards.  Please
see the MLA Grants and Scholarships page
(http://www.mlanet.org/awards/grants/)  on MLANET for more information.
The submission deadline is December 1.


Inquiries: E-mail, telephone or written inquiries are welcomed. Please
direct inquiries to Maria Lopez, 312.419.9094 x15, grants at mlahq.org.
