Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Fellowship

The Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Fellowship supports research in aviation and space history at the National Air and Space Museum. The fellowship is open to both pre- and postdoctoral candidates who wish to pursue programs of research and writing that are scholarly in tone and substance and intended for publication as articles in peer-reviewed journals, in book form from a reputable publisher, or in a doctoral dissertation. Fellows work in residence at the Museum for 3-12 months, devoting full time to their research project, working closely with a Smithsonian advisor, and making at least one work-in-progress presentation. Predoctoral candidates receive a $30,000 stipend plus $2,000 for travel and research expenses, while postdoctoral candidates receive $45,000 plus $3,000 for travel and research expenses. Applications are due January 16, with fellowships starting between July 1 and September 15.
