The Margaret W. Moore and John M. Moore Research Fellowship provides a stipend to promote research that uses the resources of the Friends Historical Library and/or the Swarthmore College Peace Collection. Preference is given to projects that make significant use of materials available only on-site at Swarthmore College. Applications are due March 31.
- Faculty, graduate students, independent scholars, creatives, and other types of researchers at all levels are welcome to apply. (Swarthmore College faculty and staff are also eligible for this fellowship. Current Swarthmore students should instead apply for the Moore Student Fellowship.) Fellows will be required to give a brief, informal presentation about their research to library staff on the last day of their research trip.
A stipend in the amount of $1,500 per week, for a minimum of one week and a maximum of four weeks, will be distributed to 2-6 researchers. Fellows are expected to travel to Swarthmore to conduct their research on-campus between July 1 and the following June 30. It is our expectation that each research trip will be for a one-week minimum increment (for a example, a researcher granted $3,000 for two weeks may choose to schedule two separate one-week trips). If alternative arrangements are preferred, they must be requested.
