Indigenous and Tribal Research Fellowships
The Newberry Library offers a variety of funding for research in Indigenous studies and by Indigenous individuals and groups.
The Newberry Library offers funded research opportunities for:
- Researchers working on behalf of U.S. federally recognized tribal nations.
- Scholars who are citizens or documented descendants of U.S. federally recognized tribal nations or Native Hawaiian individuals.
- Scholars working in the field of American Indian and Indigenous Studies who are faculty members or graduate students at Newberry Consortium in American Indian and Indigenous Studies (NCAIS) Member and Affiliate Institutions.
To learn more about these opportunities, see the links below.
Other Opportunities
There are also many other opportunities to learn more about the Indigenous collections at the Newberry, including through Tribal Outreach and Collaboration, the programming of the D’Arcy McNickle Center for American Indian and Indigenous Studies, and our American Indian and Indigenous Studies Research Guide. Funding is also available for visits by tribal delegations and representatives.
