These countries include Tunisia. The program is open to U.S. doctoral candidates and postdoctoral scholars in the humanities, social sciences, or allied natural sciences who wish to conduct research on broad questions of multi-country significance. To that end, the Academy will fund proposals that promise to make significant scholarly contributions to the field of education and to advance the careers of the recipients. Applicants must have Ph.D.s, or Ed. Applications from individuals in education, the humanities, the social and behavioral sciences, and other disciplines will be accepted, provided that they describe research relevant to education.
Fellows receive an office, library privileges, and a research allowance.
Fellows are expected to be in continuous residence at the Library and to participate in the intellectual life of Brown University. The Center offers four fellowships each summer for individuals in any field who wish to pursue an innovative project or creative idea. Emphasis is placed on a totally creative learning experience independent of formal education. The applicant's project should have the potential for impact in its field. Fellows will be expected to make contributions to the intellectual life of the Stanford community and to take part in the activities of the Center.
