Selection Criteria: Fellowships are awarded competitively based on evaluations by a
specially convened panel of external reviewers who represent a broad spectrum
of intellectual expertise. Composition of the panel changes each year.
Applications are evaluated on the basis of the overall excellence and
significance of the proposed project, clarity of presentation, and the
applicant’s academic accomplishments relative to subdiscipline and career
stage. The program supports scholars whose work is broad, synthetic, and
interdisciplinary and promises to yield significant advances in understanding
human culture, behavior, evolution, or critical contemporary issues. Projects
that are narrowly focused geographically and theoretically or that are
primarily methodological seldom receive strong consideration. Preference
is given to applicants whose research and analysis are complete and who need
time to prepare manuscripts.
