applicant, a confirmation that the applicant is a member of ISHP issued by his
national organisation, a list of former research projects and publications of
the applicant, a letter of recommendation from a senior academic teacher, a detailed
list of expensed expected (i.e. costs for travelling, obtaining literature
etc.)
The proposals are judged by a fellowship committee comprised of the ISHP
President, the ISHP General Secretary and three distinguished scientist in the
field of pharmaceutical history, nominated by the Select Executive Committee.
The fellowship committee must be comprised of representatives from at least
four different nations. The committee is encouraged to call for expert reviews
from outside including those of other scientific disciplines if appropriate.
The decision will be made until January 1, 2009.
Prof. Dr. Christa Kletter, Austria, Prof. Dr. Javier Puerto, Spain and Prof.

Sonnedecker
Visiting Research Program
Assistance for short-term historical research related to the history of pharmacy
at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is available periodically. Historians,
pharmacists, and other scholars working in the field (of any nationality) may
apply for the next available Sonnedecker Grant for Visiting Research in the
History of Pharmacy. The program provides assistance for travel, maintaining
temporary residence in Madison, and meeting research expenses associated with
utilizing the collection.
A brochure is available on request that describes the pharmaco-historical
collections, which have been developed in Madison during more than a century by
the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the State Historical Society of Wisconsin,
and the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy. Printed sources
emphasize pharmaceutical literature of Western Europe and the United States of
America, from the Renaissance to the present day. Manuscript sources represent
mainly American pharmacy, from the late nineteenth century to the present day.
These resources are reinforced by collections of comparable importance in the
history of medicine and history of science.
At least $1000 becomes available annually to defray part of the expenses
of a recipient, for whatever period of residence is appropriate. Grants are
made throughout the year on the basis of the merit of previous historical work
and on the appropriateness of historical resources on the university of
Wisconsin campus to the research proposed.
For further information contact: Prof. Gregory J. Higby, Rennebohm
Hall, 777 Highland Ave., Madison, WI 53705 or email: Higby@aihp.org.
Applicants should submit two copies of a current resume an two copies of
a letter of not more than three pages detailing their background and training
in historical research and describing their current work. This description
should include the proposal, types of sources to be used, possible conclusions,
and an explanation of the work's significance. A budget of expected travel,
research, and lodging expenses is required.
Applications are accepted throughout the year and are evaluated
individually. Grants are awarded based on the merit of projects and the
availability of funds. A committee appointed by the Dean of the University of
Wisconsin School of Pharmacy will consider each application independently. On
12 December 1985, Glenn and Cleo Sonnedecker established the Sonnedecker
Visiting Research Fund through the University of Wisconsin Foundation to
"periodically aid a meritorious person or persons in pursuing a
well-defined research project...that would benefit by utilizing the collections
of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the State Historical Society of
Wisconsin."

research fellowship program, one grant of up to $ 5000 will be available for a
project.
The Klemperer Fellow is expected to
spend at least four weeks in New York City, working at the New York Academy of
Medicine. The grant, therefore should cover travel to and living expenses in
New York City, as well as other expenses incurred in the course of scholarly
research (photocopying, etc.). It may also supplement other fellowship or
salary income.
The Helfand Fellow is required to visit
the New York Academy of Medicine at least once to make a presentation on his or
her work. The Helfand grant may cover travel to and living expenses in New York
City, as well as other expenses incurred in the course of scholarly research or
a creative project. It may also supplement other fellowship or salary income.
Candidates may apply for one fellowship or the other but not both.
