Visiting Scholars Fellowship for Academic Year 2023–2024

Application Deadline: June 28, 2022 (11:59 p.m. EST)
The Russell Sage Foundation (RSF) Visiting Scholars Program provides a unique opportunity for select scholars in the social, economic, political, and behavioral sciences to pursue their research and writing while in residence at the foundation in New York City. The fellowship period is September 1 through June 30.

The foundation annually awards up to 17 residential fellowships. Visiting scholars must be at least two years beyond their PhD at the time of application and, once selected, typically work on projects related to the foundation’s core programs and special initiatives.

Scholars are provided with an office at the foundation, computers and software, library access, and supplemental salary support. Scholars from outside NYC are provided with a partially subsidized apartment near the foundation.

Questions should be directed to James Wilson, program director.

Visiting Researcher and Visiting Journalist Fellowships: September 2022 – June 2023 (up to a five-month visit)

Application Deadline: May 3, 2022
On an occasional basis, RSF has available office space for short-term Visiting Researchers conducting research relevant to RSF’s core programs and special initiatives. These positions do not come with any financial support and are available for visits up to five months between September 1 and June 30, as space permits.

Visiting researchers are provided with an office at the foundation, computers and software, and library access. Applicants from outside the greater NYC area may be provided with a partially subsidized apartment near RSF, if available.

Visiting researchers must be several years beyond their PhD and have a project relevant to the foundation’s program areas.

Also, because journalists report on issues of relevance to RSF, the foundation has established a Visiting Journalist Fellowship.

RSF Programs and Initiatives Accepting Letters of Inquiry

Deadline: May 4, 2022, at 2 p.m. EST

The Russell Sage Foundation was established by Margaret Olivia Sage in 1907 for “the improvement of social and living conditions in the United States.” The foundation now focuses exclusively on supporting social science research in its core programs as a means of examining social issues and improving policies. Grants are available for research assistance, data acquisition, data analysis, and investigator time for conducting research and writing results.

A detailed letter of inquiry must precede a full proposal. About 15 percent of investigators who submit letters are invited based on external reviews to submit proposals.
