First, the official blurb (followed by my own editorial comments):
------------------------------------------------------------
The New York Public Library is pleased to offer Short-Term Research
Fellowships to support scholars from outside the New York metropolitan
area engaged in graduate-level, post-doctoral, and independent research.
Individuals needing to conduct on-site research in the Library’s special
collections are welcome to apply. Preference is given to applications
making a strong case for accessing special collections materials.
Fellowship stipends are $1,000 per week for a minimum of two and maximum
of four weeks.
Key Dates: Applications are invited for residence between June 1, 2018 -
May 30, 2019. The deadline for application is February 15, 2018 and
applicants will be notified of results on March 31, 2018.
Eligibility: Only U.S. citizens, permanent residents and foreign
nationals who have been resident in the United States for the three years
as of January 31, 2018 may apply.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Now the unofficial part. In crafting your proposal, pay particular
attention to the sentence:
"Preference is given to applications making a strong case for accessing
special collections materials."
Special Collections materials means that few or no other institution has
such materials--in other words, primarily archival collections (though not
excluding unique
materials such as other manuscripts, photographs or archival recordings).
Your proposal will reveal that you are thoroughly familiar with the relevant
collections' finding aids and how they relate to your topic.
Good luck to all!
