Lemelson Center Fellowships 2002-2003

The Lemelson Center Fellows Program supports projects that present
creative approaches to the study of invention and innovation in American
society.  These include, but are not limited to, historical research and
documentation projects, exhibitions, conferences, multimedia products, and
educational initiatives for the fellow's home or other institution or in
conjunction with the Lemelson Center.

The Center offers fellowships to scholars and professionals who are pre-
or postdoctoral candidates or who have completed advanced professional
training.

Fellowships are awarded for a maximum of ten weeks and carry a prorated
stipend. Fellows are expected to reside in the Washington, D.C. area, to
participate in the Center's activities, and to make presentations on their
work to colleagues at the museum.

The Lemelson Center was established at the National Museum of American
History in 1995 through a gift from Jerome and Dorothy Lemelson.  Jerome
Lemelson held more than 500 patents for a range of inventions relating to
robotics and machine vision and to the VCR, camcorder, fax machine, and
cordless telephone.

The Center's mission is to document, interpret, and disseminate
information about invention and innovation, to encourage inventive
creativity in young people, and to foster an appreciation for the central
role invention and innovation play in the history of the United States.

The deadline for applications is 15 January 2002. Application materials
