Description
The Kellogg Institute for International Studies is committed to the pursuit of scholarly excellence and to value-driven research that helps to advance human welfare around the world.Two of the most critical issues facing humanity, democracy and human development, are at the core of the Institute’s research agenda. Of particular interest are research projects that explicitly link the themes of democracy and human development.
Since 1983, the Kellogg Institute for International Studies has offered visiting fellowships to promote interdisciplinary international research in a supportive community of scholars.
This widely respected residential program offers you time to pursue scholarly inquiry where it takes you, advance your personal research, and collaborate with other scholars and practitioners from across the US and around the globe.

- Accomplished policy makers, journalists, and other practioners whose knowledge and experience can link policy and scholarship

- The Institute welcomes applications from eminent scholars and practioners who do not hold a PhD.
