Garfield Research Fellowship

The Medical Library Association Eugene Garfield Research Fellowship
promotes and supports research on topics 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  (https://www.mlanet.org/awards/grants/garfield.html)  on
MLANET for
more information. The submission deadline is December 1.
