Open Society Fellowship
The Open Society Fellowship supports individuals seeking innovative and unconventional approaches to fundamental open society challenges. The fellowship funds work that will enrich public understanding of those challenges and stimulate far-reaching and probing conversations within the Open Society Institute and in the world.
A fellowship project might identify a problem that has not previously been recognized, develop new policy ideas to address familiar problems, or offer a new advocacy strategy. Fellows should take advantage of the considerable intellectual and logistical resources of the Open Society Institute and expect to contribute meaningfully to OSI's thinking in return.
The Topic of the Project: The Open Society Institute works to build vibrant and tolerant democracies whose governments are accountable to their citizens. Among OSI's core areas of concern are human rights, government transparency, the promotion of civil society and social inclusion.
In evaluating each proposal, the selection committee weighs three factors: the applicant, the topic of the project, and the work product.
Proposals are accepted year round, but those received by April 28, 2010, will be evaluated by July 21, 2010. Proposals received by September 7, 2010 will be evaluated by November 26, 2010.
