Darling Biomedical Library, History & Special Collections, UCLA sponsor the Charles Donald O’Malley 2007-2008, Short-Term Research Fellowships to further investigation into the history of medical thought and healing practice and art from the earliest times to the recent past. The fellowships, each of which carries a grant of up to $1500, may be used to defray travel and research residence costs for research conducted at UCLA special collections libraries.

The award commemorates the work of Charles D. O’Malley, Ph.D. (1907-1970), the Vesalian scholar and first full-time Chair of the Medical History Department, UCLA. O’Malley pioneered the study of the history of medicine at UCLA and facilitated its growth.
