Woodrow Wilson Fellowships

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. 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 U.S. role in the world and issues of partnership and leadership - military, political, and economic dimensions; and

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.

Deadline: October 1, 2007 (postmark)
