Eighteen months of stipend support (3 to 4 fellowships) per year for three years and a contribution to defray costs associated with the selection of fellows.
The John Carter Brown Library is seeking a renewal of its current funding for two to four long-term NEH fellowships a year (i.e., 20 months of funding/year) to support research using the Library's unique and rare collection of materials related to the Americas, north and south, during the colonial period, 1492-1825. The Library seeks to repeat this funding for this purpose every year for a period of three years. The result of the research conducted will be shared with other scholars via the curricula they organize at the institutions of higher learning with which they are primarily affiliated, in the classes they teach, in lectures, seminars, talks, conferences, web sites, pod casts sponsored by the Library and other institutions and will be shared with the public-at-large via publications and exhibitions and the Library and at other locations.
