Program Background
The Stetten Fellowship seeks to encourage postdoctoral

Institutes of Health (NIH) since 1945.
The Fellowship provides scholars the opportunity to carry out their
research in a preeminent biomedical research facility, and to engage with
historians, physicians, administrators, scientists and social scientists on the
campus of the NIH in Bethesda, Maryland. Stetten Fellows have access to the
resources of the Office of History at the NIH, the collections of the Stetten
Museum, the National Library of Medicine, NIH Library, and historical materials
in the various NIH Institutes and Centers relevant to their research projects.
Fellows will conduct research on topics of their choice under the supervision
of senior staff of the Office of History and assisted by contacts in the
relevant Institutes and Centers.
Fellowships carry a stipend in the range of $45,000 per
year and include health insurance and work space, computer and phone in the
