The National Library of Medicine (NLM) is accepting applications for its 2025 Michael E. DeBakey Fellowship in the History of Medicine. This fellowship provides up to $10,000 to support research using the historical collections of NLM, which span 11 centuries, encompass a variety of digital and physical formats and originate from nearly every part of the globe.

Collections include the DeBakey papers—representing the diverse areas in which DeBakey made a lasting impact, such as surgery, medical education and health care policy—along with the papers of many other luminaries in science and medicine.

Anyone over age 18, of any academic discipline and status, who has not previously received this fellowship may apply. Non-U.S. citizens may apply. Group applications should be submitted under the name of a single principal researcher.

The application deadline is midnight on September 30, 2024. Details of the fellowship can be found here: https://www.nlm.nih.gov/news/DeBakey_Fellowship_2025.html.
