Description
The Paul Klemperer Fellowship in the History of Medicine, administered by the New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM), supports scholarly research using the Academy Library’s historical collections. Fellows conduct research in residence at the Library in New York City, with particular encouragement for projects engaging with the history of health equity or healthspan.
The fellowship welcomes individuals from all backgrounds, academic disciplines, and academic statuses. Preference goes to early-career researchers and projects that use resources uniquely available at NYAM. Alongside their research, fellows share their findings through a public presentation at the Academy, a contribution to its blog, and a final report.
