The CSHL Center for Humanities & History of Modern Biology supports scholarship, education, and librarianship by awarding fellowships each year.

Sydney Brenner Research Fellowship

The Sydney Brenner Research Fellowship, endowed by the Francis Goelet Charitable Trust in 2006, is offered by the CSHL Center for Humanities & History of Modern Biology. It offers stipends of up to $5,000 to fund travel and other expenses associated with work on a significant research project in the history of the life sciences.

Ideal projects will be advanced and broad in scope, with at least some relevance to collections in the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Archives. The CSHL collections themselves are very broad in scope, encompassing activity around the world as well as at CSHL and several precursor institutions.

Eligibility

The fellowship is open to scholars (at any career stage), journalists, and writers undertaking a substantial research project into the history of the life sciences.

Annual Deadline

August 31st

Research Travel Grants

Eligibility

The fellowship is open to scholars (at any career stage), journalists, writers, and filmmakers with promising projects that would illuminate material in the CSHL collections.
