The Everett Helm Visiting Fellowship program supports research and provides access to the collections of the Lilly Library for scholars residing outside the Bloomington area.
Project proposals should demonstrate that the Lilly Library's resources are integral to proposed research topics. Candidates are encouraged to inquire about the appropriateness of a proposed topic before applying. Successful applicants will receive an award of up to $1,500 in support of travel, living, and/or research expenses. Awards must be used within one year of the award date and recipients must reside in Bloomington during the period of their awards.
There is no special application form. Applicants are asked to submit a brief research proposal, not to exceed three pages. The proposal should (a) emphasize the relationship of the Lilly collections to the project, (b) include the length and preferred dates of the visit and (c) a budget specific to this research proposal which includes travel costs, living and research expenses, and any other source of financial support for this research trip. Applicants are also asked to submit a résumé and, for graduate students or other researchers whose résumés do not include a list of publications in their fields of research, two confidential letters of recommendation.
Application deadline:
No applications will be accepted in the fall of 2013. The next application deadline is April 15, 2014.
