Political science
124 open programsCatalog updated
Political science has a small number of open private programs, concentrated in policy research, international affairs and the discipline's own societies.
The Smith Richardson Foundation is the most significant research funder here, and its World Politics and Statecraft fellowship is one of the few dissertation-scale awards in the field with a reliable annual cycle. The Social Policy Association, the American Political Science Association, the Horowitz Foundation for Social Policy and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute make up most of the rest.
Read moreShow less
Fellowships are the largest category and the median award is $10,000, with the range running from small travel support to programs worth up to a million dollars. Postdocs and doctoral students are the two most commonly eligible stages.
A larger share of these programs than in any other discipline are placements rather than grants, meaning the award is a year in a policy organization rather than money for a study. The program type on each listing tells you which you are looking at.
