Kauffman Foundation: Research Fellowship at the Harry S. Truman Library
Truman-Kauffman Research Fellowship
- Application form for Truman-Kauffman Research Fellowship
Background Information
The Harry S. Truman Library Institute for National and International Affairs is dedicated to the preservation, advancement and outreach activities of the Harry S. Truman Library and Museum, one of our nation?s 13 presidential libraries overseen by the National Archives and Records Administration. Together with its public partner, the Truman Library Institute preserves the enduring legacy of America?s 33rd president to enrich the public?s understanding of history, the presidency, public policy and citizenship. The Truman Library Institute?s Research Grants Program was created to help fulfill President Truman?s wish that his library become ?a center for the study of the presidency? the greatest executive office the world has ever known.? Therefore, since 1957, the Truman Library Institute has provided $2.4 million to researchers in support of scholarship focused on President Truman and his world-altering decisions via our various awards, which include Research Grants, the Scholars Award, Dissertation Year Fellowships and the Truman Book Award.
Project Description
The Truman Library Institute is pleased to add to its existing Research Grants Program an exciting new project ? the Truman-Kauffman Research Program. Thanks to the generosity of the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, the Truman Library Institute has created a major new research initiative and public lecture series featuring senior scholars researching, presenting, and publishing on the role of foreign aid on development, modernization, and societal reconstruction, especially in the wake of war, colonialism, and rising globalization. Of course, research projects that incorporate the Marshall Plan, the Truman Doctrine, and/or the Point Four program, are especially encouraged.
The Truman Library Institute will award two Truman-Kauffman Research Fellowships in each of the next three years to senior scholars in support of ambitious archival-based research projects. Participating scholars will receive initial research/travel stipends to conduct research in the collections of the Truman Presidential Library. The initial grant will be followed by a major non-residential fellowship award allowing scholars to make significant progress on their research and resulting publication(s). Awardees will also be asked to present their findings through the project?s public component, which will include a combination of academic conferences and public lectures, generally in the Kansas City, Missouri area. (Military, foreign policy and other experts will also be invited to participate in the project?s public programs.) Each scholar will also be expected to produce a major book on his or her research, which will be published, contingent upon the standard peer-review process, by a major university press under contract with the Truman Institute for this series.
