The Historical Collections unit of Lister Hill Library of the Health
Sciences, University of Alabama at Birmingham, announces Reynolds Associates Research Fellowships in the History of the Health Sciences for 2012. In conjunction with our friends group, the Reynolds Associates, we are pleased to announce the availability of short-term awards of up to $1,000 to individual researchers studying one or more aspects of the history of the health sciences during the 2012 calendar year. Intended to
support research using the HC unit as a historical resource, the
fellowship requires the on-site use of at least one of the unit’s three components, which are the Alabama Museum of the Health Sciences, Reynolds Historical Library and UAB Archives. Anyone who wishes to use HC for historical research may apply, regardless of his or her academic status.
Fellowships are awarded to individual applicants, not to institutions, as awarded funds are meant to help offset the costs associated with visiting and utilizing HC and not for institutional overhead. Information about the fellowship application process can be found on the web at http://www.uab.edu/reynolds/fellow. The application deadline is December 31, 2011, and awards will be announced by February 28, 2012. Successful applicants will be expected to exhibit work or deposit a copy of the finished manuscript, thesis, dissertation or publication with Historical
Collections. For further information on the Historical Collections unit
and its three components, please visit the web at
