National Air and Space Museum Research Fellowships
The National Air and Space Museum offers a variety of fellowships for predoctoral, postdoctoral, and non-academic researchers. Applicants are reviewed by National Air and Space Museum research staff. Ranking factors that govern selection include the scholarly merits of the proposal, research and academic record of the applicant, potential use of museum collection and facilities, and availability of research staff to serve as advisors. National Air and Space Museum Fellows are guided by the research staff of the museum and are encouraged to use the facilities and collections of the museum. Applicants are encouraged to contact prospective staff advisors prior to submitting a proposal.
Please note: Applicants are restricted to applying for a single fellowship grant at a time. Proposals must reflect that the research to be undertaken is intended for publication in peer-reviewed books and journals.
