Virtual Fellows will be eligible to receive up to $1,500 to be used for project-related expenses.

The fellowship is open to community scholars or faculty members from outside IUB who will conduct in-depth research in collections of the partner repositories. Students are not eligible for this program unlessthey fall into one of those two categories. The ideal fellowship arrangement is two weeks of focused research using the collection items and tools provided by the repository. If a different timing is desired, it should be proposed and explained in the application.

Applicants are responsible for discussing the collections they wish to use with their prospective host repository to find out what will be available and (for virtual fellows) in what format.
Collaboration among fellows and/or with repository staff members is encouraged. Fellows are required to make a virtual or in-person presentation of some aspect of the project. IU IAS staff members will facilitate these presentations.

Eligibility: Non-IU faculty members and community scholars are eligible for this fellowship. Graduate or undergraduate students and previous SRRF/RRF fellows are not eligible to receive the fellowship. Applications from faculty members at Minority Serving Institutions and community colleges and from researchers who are from a collection’s source community are particularly welcome.

Successful proposals will demonstrate:
● understanding of the collection(s) proposed for use
● the project’s anticipated impact
● plans for wide-spread dissemination
● possibilities for ongoing collaboration
● benefit for the repository as well as the researcher

Questions about collections should be directed to listed repository contacts. Questions about the fellowship should be directed toias at indiana.edu<mailto:ias at indiana.edu?subject=>.
