About the Organization

The Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University—known as Harvard Radcliffe Institute—is one of the world’s leading centers for interdisciplinary exploration. We bring students, scholars, artists, and practitioners together to pursue curiosity-driven research, expand human understanding, and grapple with questions that demand insight from across disciplines.

About the Fellowship

The Radcliffe Fellowship Program supports 50 scholars, artists, and public intellectuals who have demonstrated records of achievement in their respective fields and show great promise for future contributions.

Throughout the year, fellows convene regularly to share their work in progress, supporting one another in various intellectual groups and building connections through social events. They benefit from access to Harvard’s libraries and archives, to professional development opportunities, and to Harvard college students through participating in the Radcliffe Research Partnership Program. In this program, students intellectually engage with fellows and their projects by researching sources, reviewing book chapters, discussing new approaches to projects, and more.

Radcliffe supports engaged scholarship. We welcome applications from scholars and artists proposing innovative work that confronts pressing social and policy issues and seeking to engage audiences beyond academia.

Reflecting Radcliffe’s unique history and institutional legacy, we welcome proposals that focus on women, gender, and society or draw on the Schlesinger Library’s rich collections.

We welcome proposals relevant to the Institute’s multi-year focus areas, which include the following:

• Academic freedom and connecting across difference, especially proposals addressing issues of intellectual diversity, political polarization, peace and conflict, inequality, and other policy issues as they relate to free inquiry at higher education institutions, as well as proposals that constructively challenge disciplinary orthodoxies or advance new and potentially transformative perspectives or approaches.
• Climate change, especially proposals addressing critical questions of impact and equity.

How to Apply

The deadline for applications in humanities, social sciences, and creative arts is September 11, 2025, 11:59 PM ET.
