Fellowships and Travel Grants

CHF fosters an exceptional and unique community of scholars.

In the words of one 2009–2010 CHF fellow, “The working conditions are wonderful: a comfortable place to focus and shut out all distractions while at the same time being surrounded by knowledgeable and helpful colleagues who can answer questions or engage in informed conversations.”

CHF fellows form a vital part of CHF’s intellectual life. Fellows are given the opportunity to

• Conduct research with full access to CHF’s library, oral history collection, and object collections;
  
• Interact with CHF’s in-house scholars, including the staff of CHF's policy center;
  
• Share work through CHF’s Brown Bag Lecture Series, writing group, and various academic seminars;
  
• Attend conferences, talks, seminars, and social events;
  
• Publish in Chemical Heritage magazine; and
  
• Access the libraries of the University of Pennsylvania.
  

Additional academic and social interaction happens through the Philadelphia Area Center for History of Science (PACHS), which brings together researchers in the history of science, technology, and medicine from throughout the greater Philadelphia region. CHF also has a central location with easy access to area resources and public transportation to New York City and Washington, D.C.
