Fellows at the Center

The Helleman Fellowships

The American Institute of Physics and the Center for History of Physics are currently accepting applicants for the AIP Robert H. G. Helleman Memorial Fellowships.

Grants-in-Aid

AIP’s Grants-in-Aid support research in the history of the physical sciences. Grantees’ projects bring them to the manuscripts and other sources in the Niels Bohr Library & Archives or to critical resources at other institutions. Grants-in-aid also support the conducting of new oral history interviews. When archival travel is not possible, grants can also be used to support expenses for research assistance (such as for an assistant or archive scanning fees). Deadlines for receipt of applications are April 15 and November 15 of each year.

For more information please visit the Grants-in-Aid website.
