3. IHR MELLON FELLOWSHIPS FOR DISSERTATION RESEARCH IN THE HUMANITIES
The IHR Mellon Fellowships for Dissertation Research in the Humanities are
administered by the Institute of Historical Research in London and funded
by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The fellowships are intended to help
students registered as doctoral candidates at a North American university
to (1) work in original source materials in the humanities in the United
Kingdom; (2) help doctoral candidates in the humanities to deepen their
ability to develop knowledge from original sources; and (3) provide
insight from the viewpoint of doctoral candidates into how scholarly
resources can be developed most helpfully in the future.
There are two types of fellowships, the Pre-Dissertation Fellowship
Programme and the Dissertation Fellowship Programme.
The Pre-Dissertation Fellowship Programme is offered for a maximum of 2
months and is intended to help candidates to draw up and revise a
dissertation proposal, candidates must have completed their coursework and
examinations prior to the start of the fellowship.
The Dissertation Fellowship is offered to candidates already working on
their dissertation and who need to spend time in the United Kingdom to
carry out archival research. These fellowships will last for a year and
will run concurrently with the academic year, i.e., 1 October 2003 to
30 September 2004.
