2010-2011 Charles Donald O'Malley Short-Term Research Fellowships For
Research in the History of Medicine and Allied Fields at UCLA


The David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and History & Special
Collections for the Sciences, in the UCLA Louise M. Darling Biomedical
Library, are pleased to announce the availability of the 2010-2011
Charles Donald O'Malley Short-Term Research Fellowships

(Adobe PDF document) to further investigation into the history of
medical thought and healing practice and art from the earliest times to
the recent past. Two fellowships will be awarded, each of which carries
a grant of up to $1500 to defray travel and residence costs for research
conducted at UCLA special collections libraries between July 1, 2010 and
June 30, 2011.



U.S. citizens or permanent residents with a legal right to work in the
United States who are engaged in graduate level, post-doctoral, or
independent research are invited to apply. The fellowships are available
to graduate students and independent scholars primarily interested in
using History & Special Collections for the Sciences, the UCLA Library
Special Collections unit located in the Biomedical Library. Other
special collections on the UCLA campus also may be used, including the
William Andrews Clark Library, Charles E. Young Research Library
Department of Special Collections, and University Archives.



The award commemorates the work of Charles D. O'Malley, Ph.D. (1907-70),
the Vesalian scholar and first full-time chair of the Department of
Medical History at UCLA. O'Malley pioneered the study of the history of
medicine at UCLA and facilitated its growth.



Applications must be received on or before May 15, 2010.
