The society preserves and provides access to Iowa's historical resources through a variety of statewide programs, exhibitions and projects while serving as an advocate for Iowa's past and connector to the future.
The Iowa History Dissertation Fellowship, offered by the State Historical Society of Iowa, supports advanced graduate students conducting historical research on topics related to the history of Iowa. This grant program is open to a wide range of historical inquiries concerning any time period of Iowa's history, from before statehood to the recent past. While dissertations do not have to be exclusively focused on Iowa history, they must show a significant engagement with the subject. Fellowship recipients are expected to present their research in Des Moines at the conclusion of their fellowship, participating in a workshop with peers, State Historical Society staff, and a specially invited commenter. Awardees may receive up to $1,500 in support of their research.
