sydney brenner research fellowship

The Sydney Brenner Research Fellowship, endowed by the Francis Goelet Charitable Trust in 2006, is one of three opportunities offered by the CSHL Center for Humanities & History of Modern Biology. It offers stipends of up to $5,000 to fund travel and other expenses associated with work on a significant research project in the history of the life sciences. Ideal projects will be advanced and broad in scope, with at least some relevance to collections in the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Archives. The CSHL collections themselves are very broad in scope, encompassing activity around the world as well as at CSHL and several precursor institutions.

What is Expected of Fellowship Recipients

• Brenner Fellowship funds must be used during the academic year following notification of the award (Sept. 1 to July 31).
• If possible, Brenner Fellows will present preliminary results of their research to the CSHL community in a talk.
• The research findings should also be presented in professional talks or other venues, and culminate in scholarly articles, book(s), or other forms of creative expression.
• A copy of the final research output is to be donated to the CSHL Library and Archives.
