2016 Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program

Limited Submissions

The Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program will award up to thirty-two major fellowships of $200,000 each, lasting one or two years, that will enable recipients to, among other things, travel, hire research assistants, and take sabbaticals from their institutions in order to focus on their research. To review the nominations and select the winners, we have put together an extraordinary jury, consisting of the heads of some of our nation’s leading organizations and institutions. The jury will be chaired by Susan Hockfield, president emerita of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The UW is allowed to nominate one junior (maximum of 10 years out from Ph.D., 2005-2015) and one senior scholar from our full-time faculty.

 

There are two broad themes: challenges to U.S. democracy and to international order. The full list of topics is here:
