The cornerstone of the Center is its Residential Fellows program which awards academic year residential fellowships for about 45 scholars who form a cohesive and diverse intellectual community. Fellows enjoy time and freedom to pursue their priority research, and more importantly, to expand their horizons in active engagement with their Center colleagues. Through its rigorous application-based selection system, the Center identifies and selects top scholars from disciplines in the social and behavioral sciences, the natural sciences, and the humanities, as well as interdisciplinary areas. By awarding residential fellowships to these scholars, bringing them together in a lovely setting with opportunity for social interaction, freeing them from the demands of normal academic life, and giving them free rein with respect to work, the Center serves as an incubator of innovative contributions to academe and society. The result is a track record of influential, groundbreaking work, significant scholarly transformation, and major short- and long-term achievements of Center Fellows. Young scholars are encouraged to apply.

ELIGIBILITY: Applicants with a Ph.D., professional degree (e.g., J.D., M.D.) or equivalent foreign degree are eligible to apply. Applicants who have achieved an equivalent level of professional reputation will also be considered. Faculty at all academic levels or independent scholars may apply, provided they exhibit a high level of achievement (adjusted for rank) including a strong record of research publications. The Center encourages applications from junior scholars at least 3 to 4 years past the doctorate, typically for a fellowship year soon after achieving tenure.

FUNDING: A Center stipend is based on the Fellow's salary for the year before residence. That stipend shall not exceed one-half of the Fellow's academic year (nine-month) base salary for that year and is additionally subject to an upper limit set by the board of trustees. For 2009-10, that cap is set at $60,000. It has not yet been set for 2010-11, but there is no indication that the cap will be altered.
