Projects funded in the past range from the history of Arabic alchemy and agricultural improvement to nanotechnology, pharmaceutical industry, and trans fats. Research proposals detailing the importance of CHF’s wide-ranging collections for the proposed project will be considered with particular care.

Apply for a Travel Grant
There is no deadline for travel grant applications. Travel grant applications can be submitted at any time and are assessed by an internal CHF review committee.

A travel grant application must contain:

	A research proposal that also details how the applicant will make use of CHF’s collections (1 page)
	A curriculum vitae (up to 3 pages)
	One reference letter (applicants are responsible for references submitting letters directly to CHF via the e-mail address below)

Travel grant applications must be submitted electronically, as Word or PDF files, to: travelgrants@chemheritage.org.

Apply for long-term and short-term fellowships
Fellowship applications for the 2010-2011 academic year are no longer being accepted. If you have already submitted an application, please note that letters of reference must be submitted by 28 February 2010.

The fellowship application process will resume in October 2010. Please check back at that time to access the online application form.

If you have questions about CHF's fellowship application process, please see our FAQ or e-mail fellowships@chemheritage.org.

Guidelines and procedures

	You may not apply for both a long-term and a short-term fellowship at the same time; the online form will allow you to note which type of fellowship you are applying for.
	If applying for a short-term fellowship, you must indicate how many months you wish to be in residence at CHF.
	If applying for a long-term fellowship, you must indicate whether you are applying for a postdoctoral or a dissertation fellowship; postdoctoral fellowships can only be awarded to scholars who have their Ph.D. in hand by the July before the academic year in which the fellowship will begin.
	You must also submit: • a research proposal of less than 1,500 words (Word or PDF file) • a curriculum vitae of 3 pages or less (Word or PDF file) • contact information for two people submitting reference letters on your behalf
	You will receive a confirmation e-mail upon submitting your application. CHF will contact your references by e-mail at that stage and ask them to submit a letter of reference by 28 February.

Application reviews
After the deadline, all complete applications will be assessed by a peer review committee. All applicants will be notified of the outcome of the review in May.
