Visiting Scholar Working Group Applications
The Russell Sage Foundation’s Visiting Scholars Program provides a unique opportunity for select scholars in the social, economic, political and behavioral sciences to pursue their data analysis and writing while in residence at the foundation’s headquarters in New York City.
Applications Due: June 1, 2024. Apply Now
The Foundation will consider applications from groups of two, and in some exceptional circumstances, up to three scholars, who are collaborating on a common research project. Priority is given to geographically dispersed collaborators, where time together would advance the completion of the project.
Every member of a working group must submit an individual application. Working group applications must include a common statement of the joint project to be undertaken. In the case where one or more group members may not be entirely occupied by the group project, additional detail should be included in the proposal about other individual research to be pursued while in residence. Working group applications may result in some, but not all working group members being selected.
Applications are typically due at the end of June for a fellowship period starting in September of the following calendar year.
All applications must be submitted through the portal. New accounts must be created at least one week before an application deadline. Activating a new account may take up to two business days.
Submit a five-page proposal describing the project to be undertaken while in residence at the Foundation. No more than 5 single-spaced pages, with standard 11 or 12-point font and 1-inch margins—excluding up to 2 pages of references and figures/tables).
We do not accept supplementary application materials such as papers and recommendations.
*New accounts must be created at least one week before an application deadline. Activating a new account may take up to 5 business days.
