Dear colleague,

The deadline for our 2019-2020 MHS-NEH fellowships is January 15, less than two weeks away! These long-term fellowships offer time, space, and resources to work on your historical research project. If you would like to spend 4-12 months researching and writing at the Society (and have the terminal degree in your field), start an application today! We look forward to reading your proposals, and wish you a happy New Year.

Best,
Katy Morris

Long-term Research Fellowships<https://www.masshist.org/2012/research/fellowships/long-term>

The Massachusetts Historical Society will award at least two long-term MHS-NEH fellowships for the academic year 2019-2020. The stipend, governed by an NEH formula, is $4,200 per month in 2018 for a minimum of four months and a maximum of 12 months. Applicants must specify the number of months for which they are applying. Tenure must be continuous. Within the constraints of the NEH's guidelines, the Society will supplement each stipend with a housing allowance of up to $500 per month plus an allowance for professional expenses. MHS-NEH fellowships are open to U.S. citizens and to foreign nationals who have lived in the United States for at least three years immediately preceding the application deadline.

New NEH guidelines require prospective fellows to have completed their training for the terminal degree in their field (ordinarily the Ph.D.) by the application deadline. NEH-sponsored fellowships are not available to graduate students. The awards committee will pay special attention both to the quality of proposed projects and to their relationship to the Society's collections. It will give preference to candidates who have not held a long-term grant during the three years prior to the proposed fellowship term. Start your application today!<https://www.masshist.org/fapps/index.php>
