This program provides one-year fellowships to doctoral students to support research at Smithsonian Institution facilities. Students must have completed all coursework for their program, be admitted into doctoral candidacy, and completed all requirements except for completion of the dissertation. The one-year fellowships carry a stipend of $40,000, which is paid by the Smithsonian Institution and the fellow’s home university.
