The John Carter Brown Library offers Long-term Fellowships, several of which have been made possible by Donald L. Saunders; R. David Parsons; and The Reed Foundation, which has endowed the InterAmericas Fellowship (for research on the history of the West Indies and the Caribbean basin). Applicants of all nationalities will be considered for long-term fellowships. Long term fellowships are open to researchers that have completed a PhD program, including the successful defense of their dissertation. PhD candidates are welcome to apply for long-term fellowships if all degree requirements, including the successful defense of their dissertation, have been met by the application deadline. Long-Term Fellowships are available for periods of five to ten months. Long-term fellowships must be residential. Fellowships awarded for the 2026-2027 cohort are to be completed between July 1, 2026 and June 30, 2027. Applicants should arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent in support of their proposed project. Please visit the fellowship's website or contact the John Carter Brown Library for more information.
