For most academic candidates, a book or monograph is required. Scholars and
practitioners who previously held research awards or fellowships at the
Wilson Center are not precluded from applying for a fellowship. However, the
Fellowships Committee of the Board of Trustees may consider how recently the
prior work was conducted and the nature of the work. 

The Center awards approximately 20-25 residential fellowships annually to
individuals with outstanding project proposals in a broad range of the
social sciences and humanities on national and/or international issues.
Topics and scholarship should relate to key public policy challenges or
provide the historical and/or cultural framework to illumine policy issues
of contemporary importance.

Due date is October 2.  For further information see
