Eligibility Criteria and Application Process: Application Process
The Wilson Center invites scholars, practitioners, journalists and public intellectuals to take part in its flagship International Fellowship Program and to take advantage of the opportunity to engage actively in the Center’s national mission. The Center awards approximately 15-20 residential fellowships each year. Fellows will be affiliated with one or more of the Wilson Center programs/projects/offices and are encouraged to interact with policy makers in Washington, D.C. as well as with Wilson Center staff and other scholars who are working on similar research and topics.
Eligibility:Citizens or permanent residents from any country (applicants from countries outside the United States must hold a valid passport and be able to obtain a J-1 visa even if they are currently in the United States) (Read more information on visas.) Men and women with outstanding capabilities and experience from a wide variety of backgrounds (including academia, business, government, journalism, and other professions) Academic candidates holding a Ph.D. (Ph.D. must be received by the application deadline of October 1)
Academic candidates demonstrating scholarly achievement by publications beyond their doctoral dissertations Practitioners or policymakers with an equivalent level of professional achievement English proficiency as the Center is designed to encourage the exchange of ideas among its fellows
Ineligibility:Applicants working on a degree (even if the degree is to be awarded prior to the proposed fellowship year) Proposals of a partisan or advocacy nature Primary research in the natural sciences Projects that create musical composition or dance Projects in the visual arts Projects that are the rewriting of doctoral dissertations The editing of texts, papers, or documents The preparation of textbooks, anthologies, translations, and memoirs You do not need an institutional affiliation to apply. 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 nature and recency of the prior award may be among the factors considered during the selection process, and by the Fellowships Committee of the Board of Trustees. If you have questions regarding your eligibility or the suitability of your project, please e-mail the Scholars and Academic Relations Office at fellowships@wilsoncenter.org. Selection Process:Applications that satisfy the eligibility requirements are subsequently subjected to a multi-stage review process involving both internal evaluations by Wilson Center experts and external evaluations by a panel of specialists with relevant expertise. Final decisions about all grant awards are contingent on the approval of the Center’s Board of Trustees and subject to available funding. The basic criteria for selection are: a) significance of the proposed research, including the importance and originality of the project; b) the relevance of the project to contemporary policy issues; c) the relevance of the project to the programmatic work of the Center; d) quality of the proposal in definition, organization, clarity, and scope; e) capabilities and achievements of the applicant and the likelihood that the applicant will accomplish the proposed project; f) potential of a candidate to actively contribute to the life, priorities and mission of the Center by making expert research accessible to a broader audience. The Center welcomes in particular those projects that transcend narrow specialties and methodological issues of interest only within a specific academic discipline. Projects should involve fresh research-—in terms of both the overall field and the author’s previous work. It is essential that projects have relevance to public policy, and fellows should want, and be prepared, to interact with policymakers in Washington and with Wilson Center staff and other scholars who are working on similar issues.
