John Carter Brown Research Fellowship for Indigenous Communities

About Scholarship

The John Carter Brown Library invites tribal communities and community members to apply to its Research Fellowship for Indigenous Communities. This fellowship supports community-prioritized and community-based research that would benefit from research time in the JCB's collections, that could be undertaken, for example, by Native or Indigenous scholars, Elders, Tribal librarians or archivists, and knowledge keepers. Individual scholars may apply but must include a letter of support from the tribal community that will benefit from their research. Researchers do not need to have an academic affiliation or academic background to apply. Fellowship funding supports the JCB's commitment to knowledge sharing and digital and on-site access to its collection of materials focused on the history of the western hemisphere from the 15th through the 19th centuries. The Fellowship is available for periods of two to four months. The JCB supports both residential and remote fellowships. Applications for this fellowship are accepted and awarded on a rolling basis. Awards are open to U.S. citizens and foreign nationals who hold the necessary U.S. government documents. A description of the proposed project, progress to date on the project, identification of materials to be consulted at the JCB, and plan for work to be completed while in residence or while working remotely must be submitted. Please visit the fellowship's website for more information.
