The fellowship will provide support for policy-relevant research on the prevention or mitigation of mass atrocities.

The Museum will provide fellows a financial award ($20,000 for those currently pursuing a PhD, $30,000 for those who have received a PhD or equivalent research degree within the last five years) and cover travel-related expenses for fellows’ participation in a workshop in Washington, DC. The fellowship is non-residential.
