The Fredson Bowers Award is funded jointly with the Bibliographical Society of the UK where it is a Major Grant. Applicants must apply through the Bibliographical Society UK. Two referees familiar with the applicant's work are required. Applicants must give an account of the research for which the grant is sought, making clear how it relates (1) to any larger project on which the applicant is engaged and (2) to more general scholarly concerns. The account should include an indication of precise uses to which any grant would be put (e.g. travelling expenses, purchase of reproductions) with an estimated breakdown of costs and (if relevant) a note on the methodology you intend to employ to carry out your research. Please visit the fellowship's website or contact the Bibliographical Society of America for more information.
