About
The Smith Richardson Foundation is a private philanthropic foundation that contributes to important public debates and addresses serious public policy challenges facing the United States. The Foundation seeks to help ensure the vitality of America's social, economic, and governmental institutions, while also assisting with the development of effective policies to compete internationally and to advance U.S. interests and values abroad. It operates through two main programs: International Security & Foreign Policy, and Domestic Public Policy.
Funding Opportunities
World Politics & Statecraft Fellowship
The Smith Richardson Foundation sponsors an annual World Politics and Statecraft Fellowship program, its annual grant competition to support Ph.D. dissertation research on American foreign policy, international relations, international security, strategic studies, area studies, and diplomatic and military history. The purpose of the program is to strengthen the U.S. community of young scholars and researchers conducting policy analysis in these fields by supporting the research and writing of policy-relevant dissertations through funding of field work, archival research, and language training. In evaluating applications, the Foundation will accord preference to those projects that could directly inform U.S. policy debates and thinking, rather than dissertations that are principally focused on abstract theory or debates within a scholarly discipline. The Foundation will award up to twenty grants of $10,000 each to support doctoral dissertation research in these critical policy areas.
Strategy & Policy Fellows Program
The Smith Richardson Foundation sponsors an annual Strategy and Policy Fellows grant competition to support young scholars and policy thinkers on American foreign policy, international relations, international security, military policy, and diplomatic and military history. The purpose of the program is to strengthen the U.S. community of scholars and researchers conducting policy analysis in these fields. The Foundation will award at least three research grants of $60,000 each to enable the recipients to research and write a book. Within the academic community, this program supports junior or adjunct faculty, research associates, and post-docs who are engaged in policy-relevant research and writing. Within the think tank community, the program supports members of the rising generation of policy thinkers who are focused on U.S. strategic and foreign policy issues.
