Visiting Fellows in
Residence Opportunity
The Hauser Center for Nonprofit Organizations
seeks to accelerate critical thinking about the role and
leadership of nonprofit and non-governmental organizations
through research, education and practice.
The Visiting
Fellows in Residence Program is for non-Harvard scholars
who wish to pursue their own work while in residence at the
Hauser Center in association with Harvard-affiliated
faculty. The Hauser Visiting Fellows have strong
intellectual interests grounded either in significant
practical accomplishments within the nonprofit sector or in
scholarly inquiry into the nature or dynamics of nonprofit
and nongovernmental organizations in the US and
internationally. Visiting Fellows are encouraged in their
work and affiliation with the Center to bridge all three
levels of academic work: research, teaching, and practical
application.
Visiting Fellowships typically extend from September until
May of one academic year, although applications for a
shorter fellowship may be considered. Affiliation with the
Hauser Center implies a close working engagement with the
individuals and activities at the Center.
Applicants must have at least one Harvard Faculty sponsor
and are expected to spend a significant amount of time in
residence at the Center and participate in its intellectual
life.
Visiting Fellows are responsible for securing their own
funding to support the full costs of their fellowship
which includes shared office space, basic administrative
support and access to Harvard resources (e.g. libraries,
events, and facilities). Costs for an academic year are
approximately $8,100, and for six months approximately
$5,100.
The following criteria are used in deciding whether to
grant the request for affiliation:
• Intellectual accomplishments of the applicant and quality
of proposed projects.
• Fit of interests and projects with interests and
activities of the Hauser Center Faculty and Associates;
priority will be given to scholars whose work intersects
with the domains of practice.
• Likelihood of individual's future contribution to
nonprofit scholarship, teaching, or service.
• Likelihood of individual’s future contribution to the
intellectual community within the Center and the
University.
To be eligible, those interested must file a formal
application. Applications can be submitted at any time on
line, but decisions to grant the request for affiliation as
a Visiting Fellow will be made two times a year: February
and June.
