Established in 2011 by Granville H. Nickerson, M.D., C.M., in memory of his wife, Mary Louise, the fellowship will allow a scholar to carry out research in the history of neurology using the archival and artifact collections at the Osler Library, the Montreal Neurological Institute, and the McGill University Archives, the centerpiece of which is the Dr. Wilder Penfield Archive in the Osler Library.

Value varies depending on the project, to a maximum of $10,000. More than one fellowship may be awarded. Research is to be carried out during the 2013-14 fiscal year (May 2013-April 2014). Preference will be given to applicants spending at least one month in Montreal to work with the rare materials at the Osler Library and McGill University. The application form is available on the website. Please submit a CV, detailed project proposal, and arrange for two letters of recommendation to be received by March 15, 2013.
