One of its pri- mary objectives is the facilitation of the Smithsonian's scholarly interactions with students and scholars at univer- sities, museums, and other research institutions around the world. The Office administers Institution-wide research support programs, and encourages and assists other Smithsonian museums, research institutes and research offices in the development of additional fellowships, internships, and visiting appointments. This book is published to provide information about the Smithsonian Institution's fellowships, internships, and research resources. The Smithsonian Institution encourages access to its research staff, collections, and refer- ence materials by visiting scholars, scientists, and students. The Institution offers in-residence appointments for research and study using its facilities, with the advice and guidance of its staff members. These appointments enable qualified persons to make use of Smithsonian resources in pursuing studies related to research interests of the Institution and its staff. Appointments vary in duration, and many carry financial support. Sections of Smithsonian Opportunities for Research and Study ▶ Details about the purpose, research fields, eligibility requirements, duration of appointment, and application procedures and deadlines for each type of opportunity offered throughout the Insti- tution are described in the first section. The online version of this publication provides some links to more detailed information for some of the programs listed. ▶ The second section of the book is devoted to descriptions of the Museums, Research Institutes, and Research Offices of the Smithsonian and to the research interests of the professional staff. The online version of this publication provides some links to more detailed information for some of the staff members listed. ▶The third section provides information about the Institution's research support units available for consultation and use by visiting scholars, scientists and students. Further information about the programs described in the book may be obtained by contacting this office (unless otherwise noted): Contact: Office of Fellowships and Internships Smithsonian Institution MRC 902 P.O. Box 37012 470 L’Enfant Plaza, Suite 7102 Washington, D.C. 20013-7012 Phone: (202) 633-7070 E-mail: [email protected] WWW: www.si.edu/ofi Introduction 9 INFORMATION FOR APPLYING TO THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM Applicants to the Smithsonian Institution Fellowship Program must propose to conduct research in a disci- pline pursued at the Smithsonian and must submit a specific and detailed research proposal indicating why the Smithsonian is an appropriate place to carry out the study. Projects that broaden and diversify the research con- ducted within these disciplines are encouraged. Fellowships are offered to support research at Smithsonian facili- ties or field stations. Fellows are expected to spend most of their tenure in residence at the Smithsonian, except when arrangements are made for periods of field work or research travel. For all fellowships, appropriate members of the Smithsonian professional staff must be willing and able to serve in the capacity of principal advisor or host, and space and facilities must be available to accommodate the proposed research. Applicants are evaluated on the scholarly merit of their proposals; their ability to carry out the proposed re- search and study; the likelihood that the research can be completed during the requested appointment period; extent to which the Smithsonian, through its research staff members or resources, can contribute to the proposed research project; and the inclusion of diverse perspectives. Included in the proposal evaluation will be its rele- vance in terms of the Smithsonian’s Strategic Plan and how the research reflects one or more of the Four Grand Challenges. Four Grand Challenges of the
