Through a generous endowment provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to the History of Science Department and the History of Science Collections, the University of Oklahoma announces a travel fellowship program for visitors to make use of its resources for research in the History of Science. The Andrew W. Mellon Travel Fellowship Program is intended to assist scholars at both pre-doctoral and post-doctoral levels.

The program is designed to provide travel expenses and a reasonable per diem to researchers who reside outside the central Oklahoma area, and who have well-defined research projects that can be served by the holdings of the History of Science Collections. Support is available for qualifying projects for periods ranging from two to eight weeks. Although there is no limitation on the subject field of investigation, applicants must demonstrate the utility of materials in the History of Science Collections.

Fellowship projects can be scheduled at any part of the year during which the Collections are available. Applicants preparing proposals should contact the Curator or the Librarian for information.

To preserve the timeliness of travel fellowships, proposals will be evaluated three times each year, with deadlines for submission October 15 (for research conducted January 1 - April 30), February 15 (for research conducted May 1 - August 30) and May 15 (for research conducted September 1 - December 30).
