Folger Institute Research Short-Term Residential Fellowships

Please note, for the 2024-25 fellowship year, short-term fellows will have the option to take short-term fellowships fully onsite, fully virtual, or a combination of the two. Applicants may propose any research schedule that best fits their project’s needs.

Short-term fellowships support scholars whose work would benefit from significant primary research for one, two, or three months, with a monthly stipend of $4,000. These fellowships are designed to support a concentrated period of full-time work on research projects that draw on the strengths of the Folger’s collections and programs. Additionally, these on-site, virtual, or hybrid fellowships provide researchers with the opportunity to engage in collections-based research within an interdisciplinary community as well as informal opportunities to discuss their research with and receive feedback from this community regularly.
