Associate Fellowship Program

The NLM Associate Fellowship Program is open to U.S. and Canadian library and information science professionals, as well as graduate students completing their degrees. The qualification requirements are:

• Master's degree in an ALA-approved library/information science program, earned by August of the year of appointment
  
  
• United States citizenship
  Note: Canadians with ALA-accredited Master's degrees should use the same application process as U.S. citizens. U.S. citizens will receive first preference.
  
  
• Experience is desirable, but not essential.
  
  

The Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE), managed and operated by Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU), administers this program for the National Library of Medicine through an interagency agreement with the Department of Energy.
