Helfand Fellowship in the Medical HumanitiesEach year the New York Academy of Medicine offers the Paul Klemperer  Fellowship and the Audrey and William H. Helfand Fellowship to support  work in history and the humanities as they relate to medicine, the  biomedical sciences, and health.The Klemperer Fellowship supports research using the Academy Library as a  historical resource.  It is intended specifically for a scholar in  residence in the collections of the Academy Library.The Helfand Fellowship more broadly supports work in the humanities,  including both creative projects dealing with health and the medical  enterprise, and scholarly research in a humanistic discipline as applied  to medicine and health.  Although residence is not obligatory,  preference in the selection process will be given applicants whose  projects require use of the resources of the Academy Library and who  plan to spend time at the Academy.The Helfand Fellowship and the Klemperer Fellowship each provide  stipends of up to $5,000 to support travel, lodging and incidental  expenses for a flexible period between June 1, 1999 and December 31,  1999.  Besides completing research or a creative project, each Fellow  will be expected to make a presentation at the Academy and submit a  final report on the project.  We invite applications from anyone --  regardless of citizenship, academic discipline, or academic status --  who wishes to use the Academy's collections for historical research or  for a scholarly or creative project in the medical humanities.   Preference will be given to (1) those who show the need to use  resources that are uniquely available at the Academy, and(2) scholars or creative artists in the early stages of their careers.Applicants may compete for either the Klemperer or the Helfand  Fellowship, but not both.  These fellowships are awarded directly to the  individual applicant and not to the institution where he or she may  normally be employed.  None of the fellowship money is to be used for  institutional overhead.Applications must be received by the Academy by February 1, 1999; candidates will be informed of the results by May 15, 1999.Requests for application forms or further information should be addressedto:  Office of the Associate Librarian for Historical Collections and  Programs, New York Academy of Medicine, 1216 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY  10029.
