Research Fellowship
The David M. Stowe Fund for Mission Research is intended to support visiting researchers who come to the Yale Divinity Library to use its missions and world Christianity-related collections. This year we are happy to announce that $5,000 is available to subsidize the travel and accommodation expenses of individuals whose research would benefit from using the resources available at the Yale Divinity Library. It is our preference that the researchers visit the Yale Divinity Library in connection with the Yale-Edinburgh Group meeting of June 29 – July 1, 2017 and spend at least one week in residence in New Haven to use the collections. We will give preference to younger scholars who may lack institutional funding for research travel. Because of financial regulations here, we can only use the funds to book travel for researchers and cover accommodations costs at OMSC or YDS; we cannot provide reimbursements or stipends. The number of fellowships distributed will depend on the travel/accommodation costs of the successful candidates. Individuals who have been awarded Stowe funding in the past will not be eligible for another award.
If you would like to be considered for an award from the Stowe Fund, please send a statement to me indicating your area of research and the specific holdings of the Divinity Library that are of interest to you. The library’s catalog is available at http://orbis.library.yale.
