New England Regional Fellowship Consortium

The New England Regional Fellowship Consortium, a collaboration of 17 major cultural agencies, will offer at least 11 awards in 2008-2009. Each grant will provide a stipend of $5,000 for eight weeks of research at participating institutions. Applications are welcome from anyone with a serious need to use the collections and facilities of the organizations.The Consortium's grants are designed to encourage projects that draw on the resources of several agencies. Each award will be for research at three or more different institutions. Fellows must work at three of these organizations for at least two weeks. Grants in this cycle are for the year June 1, 2008-May 31, 2009.

During the coming year, two of the grants will support research on special topics:

The Colonial Society of Massachusetts Fellowship will underwrite research on the early history of New England with a preference for proposals on Massachusetts subjects.

The Bostonian Society/New England Women's Club Fellowship will support research on the history of women with a preference for proposals on Boston subjects.
