The Huntington Research and Fellowships Program (Long-term, Variable-term, Short-term, Travel & Exchange, Partner)

About this program

The Huntington Research and Fellowships program funds a wide range of support for scholarship using its collections, including 9‑month academic‑year fellowships ($50,000), 4–5‑month academic‑term fellowships ($25,000), approximately 140 short‑term fellowships (1–3 months at $4,000/month), variable‑term awards (e.g., Berger Trust at $5,000/month; Li Fellowship up to $50,000), and one‑month travel grants/exchange fellowships that reimburse economy airfare and provide a $4,000 stipend. Most awards are residential and require in‑person participation (academic‑year fellows are expected to be in continual residence and attend weekly working groups), while exchange fellowships place scholars at partner colleges and universities under partner‑specific terms. Eligibility varies by program: long‑term fellowships require a Ph.D. (or a successfully defended dissertation by the deadline), some fellowships target nontenured or early‑career scholars, short‑term awards are open to graduate students through independent researchers, and travel grants/exchanges require ABD or higher with applicants based in North America.
