Development Opportunities

Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars Fellowships - Deadline October 1

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

The center devotes significant attention to the exploration of broad thematic areas. Primary themes are:

• Governance, including such issues as the key features of the development of democratic institutions, democratic society, civil society, and citizen participation
• The United State's role in the world and issues of partnership and leadership - military, political, and economic dimensions
• Key long-term future challenges confronting the United States and the world

While the center does not engage in formulating actual policy, priority will be given to proposals related to these themes and intersecting with crucial public policy issues. Within this framework, the center also welcomes projects that provide the historical or cultural context for some of today's significant public policy debates.

For help with the application process, please contact your Program Development Specialist in the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs.
