Endowed Fellowship
The Endowed Fellowships at Common Sense Institute offer a unique opportunity for exceptional individuals to contribute to our mission of promoting free enterprise and effective public policy. The fellowships are designed to support high-caliber research, provide intellectual leadership, and drive meaningful change across CSI’s nine policy areas.
OBJECTIVES
Research Excellence
Our fellowship program is dedicated to encouraging rigorous research that addresses critical issues and informs effective public policy. Fellows engage in original research, produce influential reports, and contribute to the broader knowledge base of our institution.
Policy Impact
We aim to support fellows whose work has the potential to shape public policy and drive positive change. By providing resources and support, we empower our fellows to develop actionable recommendations and influence policy discussions at local, state, and national levels.
Intellectual Leadership
The Endowed Fellowships are not only about research, but also about leadership. We seek thought leaders who can inspire others, foster dialogue, and contribute to the development of innovative solutions for complex challenges.
FELLOWSHIP BENEFITS
Financial Support
Fellows receive financial support to cover research expenses, travel, and other costs associated with their projects. This support allows fellows to focus on their research without the burden of financial constraints.
Recognition and Visibility
Fellows have the chance to present their work through various platforms, including publications, events, and media appearances. This visibility helps to elevate their research and amplify its impact.
Eligibility
Endowed Fellowships are open to scholars, researchers, and professionals with a demonstrated track record of excellence in their field.
