Description

The Eugene Garfield Research Fellowship is a research-related funding opportunity offered by the Medical Library Association (MLA). It supports research on the discoverability and dissemination of information through exploration of the history of information science in the health sciences.

The fellowship connects historical inquiry with questions about how information is found and shared. Its focus goes beyond historical exploration alone: it emphasizes how insights from the field’s history can inform current practices and future developments. Research aligned with this purpose places the history of health sciences information science in conversation with present-day and future approaches to information discovery and dissemination.
