Ferenc Gyorgyey/Stanley Simbonis YSM'57 Research Travel Grant

The Ferenc Gyorgyey/Stanley Simbonis YSM'57 Research Travel Grant is a research travel award offered by the Medical Historical Library of the Harvey Cushing/John Hay Whitney Medical Library at Yale University. Now in its seventeenth year, this grant supports historians, medical practitioners, and other researchers outside of Yale who wish to use the Historical collections. The award provides up to $2,000 for one week of research, with funds applicable to transportation, housing, food, and photographic reproductions. The Medical Historical Library holds one of the country's largest collections of rare medical books, journals, prints, photographs, and pamphlets, with special strengths in works of Hippocrates, Galen, Vesalius, Harvey, and others, as well as materials on anatomy, anesthesia, and smallpox inoculation and vaccination. The grant honors Ferenc A. Gyorgyey, former Historical Librarian who served from 1962-1994, and Stanley Simbonis, M.D., a 1957 Yale School of Medicine graduate who endowed the fund. Applications require a research proposal, budget, curriculum vitae, and two letters of recommendation.
