APS/CSHL Undergraduate Summer Internship in the History of Biology
The American Philosophical Society’s Center for the History of Science and the Center for Humanities and the History of Modern Biology at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory invite applications for a joint summer internship program for undergraduates working on junior or senior research projects related to the history of the life sciences.
This eight-week hybrid internship offers funding for one undergraduate to conduct research using the rich archival collections at both the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in Cold Spring Harbor, New York. The intern will divide their time between both institutions and will benefit from hands-on research guidance, mentorship, and networking opportunities. The intern will be expected to deliver a presentation on their research as part of the program and complete a short essay or blog post about their work.
The internship will take place from May 18 through July 10, 2026. The intern will be expected to be in-residence at Cold Spring Harbor between June 1-June 12 and at the American Philosophical Society between June 15-June 26. The first and last two weeks of the internship will be completed remotely.
The intern will receive a stipend of $2,000, as well as funding to support travel (up to $500). CSHL and APS will also secure and cover the costs of housing in Cold Spring Harbor and Philadelphia.

About Us
Mission Statement
The Westfield Center for Historical Keyboard Studies offers a unique environment for the study, appreciation, use, and promotion of a wide range of keyboard instruments. To serve an increasingly diverse audience, the Center presents keyboard-related conferences, workshops, concerts, masterclasses, educational programs, and publishes scholarly work at regular intervals; longstanding priorities have included the intersections of historical practices and technologies with larger social and artistic developments. In its activities and governance, the Center seeks to foster inclusion and equity among artists, builders, scholars, educators, students, enthusiasts, and partner organizations.
Since its founding in 1979, the Center has sponsored over one hundred events, including workshops, research conferences and symposia, tours to historic instruments, solo recitals and early music concerts, and educational programs designed to interest the general public in keyboard instruments and their repertoire.
Members include highly acclaimed artists, noted scholars, some of the world’s greatest instrument builders, and music lovers.
The Barbara Owen Research Grant
A lifelong member of the Westfield Center, Barbara Owen made immense contributions to our understanding of the organ and its music. She was especially known for her scholarship on the American organ and organists, and she co-wrote the Grove Dictionary article on the organ, a standard reference work. To honor her memory, the Westfield Center will award a $2000 grant for research into historical keyboard instruments (organ, harpsichord, clavichord, fortepiano). The research may culminate in a scholarly article or other format for presenting the information.

About
One Valley Foundation was created with a simple belief: when a community comes together, meaningful change follows.
As the charitable arm of the Coachella Valley Firebirds, One Valley Foundation exists to ensure everyone in our valley has the opportunity to thrive—on and off the ice. From the very beginning, the Foundation was built to reflect the spirit of this region: diverse, hardworking, passionate, and united by a shared love of sport and community.
Long before the Firebirds ever dropped their first puck, the commitment to give back was already taking shape. The Foundation launched hockey programs across all three local school districts, expanding access to the game while using hockey as a gateway to education, confidence, and connection. That early focus set the tone for everything that followed—local impact, lasting legacy, and inclusive opportunity.
One Valley Foundation Grant
One Valley Foundation invests in qualified nonprofit organizations creating meaningful local impact across the Coachella Valley. We support programs aligned with our three pillars—Education, Well-Being, and Community—and the focus areas defined within each pillar.
Our grantmaking is guided by a simple promise: Local Money Stays Local.
We invite eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations serving the Coachella Valley to submit funding requests during our open application periods.
Before submitting an application, please review the following information to determine whether your organization and proposed program are eligible.
Select the proposal’s primary purpose
Some programs may touch more than one pillar. Applicants should select the one pillar and focus area that most closely reflect the proposal’s primary purpose.
School-based programs
One Valley Foundation works directly with all three Coachella Valley public school districts to understand and respond to the needs of local students. Following a joint three-district convening, we established an Education Committee with representatives from elementary, middle, high, and alternative schools. Their insight helps us identify priorities, coordinate support, and ensure our education investments reflect the needs of students across the Valley.We also support eligible nonprofit organizations whose programs strengthen learning and opportunity beyond the classroom—from literacy, leadership, and inclusive education to arts, music, workforce training, and career pathways.Programs benefiting students or taking place on school campuses must be submitted and administered by an eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, such as a district education foundation or qualified nonprofit program partner.About The Network Advocating Against Domestic Violence
