Good afternoon,

The University of Michigan Library invites applications for fellowships for research in residence. The Heid Research Fellowship, specifically, offers the opportunity to do extended research with our extensive map and atlas collection. 

Heid Research Fellowship

The Ralph C. and Mary Lynn Heid Rare Materials Research Fellowship is open to researchers whose work would benefit from onsite access to our special collections, including those held in the Special Collections Research Center and the Stephen S. Clark Library. The Joseph A. Labadie Collection and the Papyrology Collection are out scope for this fellowship.

Our fellows are awarded:

• $2,000 for a project requiring domestic travel to Ann Arbor MI

• $3,000 for a project requiring international travel to Ann Arbor MI

Individuals who live within a 100-mile radius of Ann Arbor, Michigan, will not typically be granted a fellowship.

The current application cycle is open from 1 November 2023 through 1 February 2024, with the residency period and award to be used between 6 May 2024 and 15 August 2025. For more information, including eligibility requirements and instructions for applying, please visit this page:
