M. Louise Gloeckner, M.D. Research Fellowship

The M. Louise Gloeckner, M.D. Research Fellowship is a competitive annual award established in memory of Dr. M. Louise Carpenter Gloeckner by her husband Frederick Gloeckner in recognition of her key leadership roles in the medical profession. The fellowship provides $4,000 for self-directed research at the Legacy Center at Drexel University College of Medicine, with research beginning on or after June 1, 2026, and extending up to 6 weeks. The program was established to encourage use of the institution's archival collections and is open to scholars, students, and general researchers. Research proposals must focus on materials in the Legacy Center's Women in Medicine Collection, though other collections in the Philadelphia area may be utilized. The collections have particular strengths in the history of women in medicine (nationally and internationally), medical education, and women's health, documenting the past through the eyes of women in medicine.
