BACKGROUND
The Stetten Fellowship seeks to encourage historical
research and publication about biomedical sciences
and technology or medicine that has been funded
by NIH since 1945. Fellowships carry a stipend
in the range of $45,000 per year and include health
insurance, work space, computer, and telephone
in the Office of NIH History. (Fellowships may
be renewable to a maximum of 24 months, subject
to satisfactory progress). Stetten Fellows have
access to the resources of the Office of NIH History,
the collections of the Stetten Museum, the National

Institutes relevant to their research projects.
The Fellow will conduct research on the topics
