The Smithsonian’s Lemelson Center is seeking proposals for its 2008 Fellows Program, supporting projects that present creative approaches to the study of invention and innovation in American society. Possible projects include, but are not limited to, historical research and documentation projects resulting in publications, exhibitions, educational initiatives, and multimedia products.

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. The deadline is January 15, 2008. For application materials and more information, see the Lemelson Center Fellows Program page.
