Sarah Berliner Research Fellowship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sarah Berliner Research Fellowship for Women was established in 1908 by Emile Berliner in honor of his mother, and first awarded in 1909. The fellowship was award biennially and provided $1200 to support a woman studying physics, chemistry, or biology in either America or Europe. The fellowship was open to women holding the degree of doctor of philosophy or otherwise capable of conducting higher research. The first chair of the awarding committee was Christine Ladd-Franklin,[1] who was also instrumental in the establishment of the fellowship.[2] In 1911, an increase in funding meant that the fellowship could be offered every year.[3]
