Application Deadline: May 29
The National Park Service, in partnership with Preservation Maryland, is pleased to announce the Harrison Goodall Preservation Fellowship to promote innovation and professional growth in the field of historic preservation. The fellowship is a short-term opportunity to pursue a unique self-directed project under the guidance of a mentor. Fellows will receive recognition for a distinguished achievement while creating original preservation training content, performing research, or enhancing leadership and management skills.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This opportunity is aimed at both emerging and seasoned preservation professionals and graduate students enrolled at least part-time in a preservation-related degree program (historic preservation, museum studies, history, archaeology, urban planning, architecture, preservation trades, etc.). Applications will be accepted from federal and non-federal applicants.
FELLOWSHIP EXPERIENCE
Once accepted, fellows will be paired with (or continue working with) a mentor appropriate to their field of study. Fellows will develop a plan with their mentors which establishes a timeline for deliverables, a broad outline of their final deliverables, and expectations for collaboration and communication. Fellows will also establish the period of residency (up to two weeks) when they plan to travel to an appropriate location to either work with their mentor or complete fieldwork for their project (subject to change based on current national, regional and local public health guidance). Every fellowship will result in a different deliverable which will be due by August of their fellowship year.
FELLOWSHIP AWARD
Candidates are admitted as fellows for a year (August to August). The program will provide a $5,000 award. Additional support may be provided on a as-needed basis to assure completion of the two-week residency.
