Description
The Marjorie Kovler Research Fellowship supports research on foreign intelligence and the Presidency, or a related topic. The John F. Kennedy Library Foundation administers the fellowship with funds from the Marjorie Blum Kovler Foundation. Projects must use materials from the JFK Library archives for at least part of their research and may also draw on collections at other institutions.
Applicants describe their planned project, its significance, the collections they will consult, and their intended audience and expected outcome. The fellowship supports research grounded in the Library’s archival holdings without prescribing a particular form for the finished work.
