Description
The Robert H. G. Helleman Memorial Grant and Fellowship Program, administered by the American Institute of Physics (AIP), funds international collaborative research in the history of the physical sciences since 1850. The program is designed to encourage compelling, innovative research, foster international scholarly exchange, and promote career development for early-career researchers. Projects must be led by senior scholars, involve at least two research institutions from different geographic regions, and support graduate students or postdoctoral researchers. The program welcomes both traditional scholarly outputs (books, articles, conference presentations) and innovative resources (digital archives, public datasets), and expects ongoing collaboration with AIP's history, library, and archives team.
