Fellows will attend the Work in Progress presentations given by their colleagues. Fellows will also be expected to actively contribute to the goals and mission of the Wilson Center during their tenure. The Center will work with all fellows to share their expertise with the Washington policy community. These interactions may range from a deep background briefing for a federal agency to an informal roundtable discussion with members of Congress and their staffs. They may deliver more formal presentations to the public, including colloquia, seminars, workshops, or other coordinated events with the Center. Fellows will also be encouraged to produce policy reports, op-eds, and other short written and audio-visual products during their tenure and engage with the broader Washington community of scholars working on similar topics.

Deadline for Applications Fellowship applications, including letters of recommendation, must be submitted online by 11:59 pm ET on September 30, 2026 .
