New York Public Library Establishes Research Grant Program for CUNY Students

The Gotham Center / Uris Foundation is pleased to announce the creation of short-term research grants, supporting the work of graduate students at the City University of New York (CUNY) studying the history of New York City and using the collection materials of the New York Public Library. The stipends will provide $1,000 per week for a minimum of two and maximum of four weeks.

The fellowship is open to CUNY graduate students whose research touches on any aspect of New York City history (political, economic, social, or cultural) and is a joint venture of the New York Public Library and The Gotham Center, at CUNY’s graduate school and university center.
