Each of the more than 700 fellows who have been in residence at the Radcliffe Institute has pursued an independent project, but the collaborative experience unites all of them.
Individual Applicants for the 2015–2016 Fellowship Year
The deadline for individual applications in the creative arts, humanities, and social sciences is October 1, 2014.
For applications in the natural sciences and mathematics, the deadline is November 1, 2014.
Selection Process
Former fellows of the Radcliffe Institute Fellowship Program (2000 to present) are not eligible to apply.
Each application is reviewed in a dual-tiered process by peers in relevant disciplines. Applications are judged on the quality and significance of the proposed project and the applicant’s record of achievement and promise. Applicants are notified by email of the results of the selection process in March.
Terms and Conditions
Stipends are funded up to $75,000 for one year with additional funds for project expenses. Some support for relocation expenses is provided where relevant. If so directed, Radcliffe will pay the stipend to the fellow’s home institution.
Radcliffe works with fellows who have families to help with relocation issues for a smooth transition.
Fellows receive office or studio space and access to libraries and other resources of Harvard University during the fellowship year, which extends from early September 2015 through May 31, 2016. Visual artists and film, video, sound, and new media artists may apply to come for either one or two semesters. In the event that they come for one semester, the stipend is $37,500. Fellows are expected to be free of their regular commitments so they may devote themselves full time to the work outlined in their proposal. Since this is a residential fellowship, we expect fellows to reside in the Boston area during that period and to have their primary office at the Institute so that they can participate fully in the life of the community.
