Dear Members of the Children's, Education, Health Care, Labor Studies,
and Public Economics Programs -
I recently received a Visiting Fellowship Announcement from the
Russell Sage Foundation, and I thought that this might be of interest to
a number of NBER affiliates. The description of the fellowships, and
the application procedures, are described below. All best wishes.

*
Visiting Scholar Program at the Russell Sage Foundation*– The RSF
Visiting Scholar Fellowship provides a unique opportunity for select
scholars in the social, economic and behavioral sciences to pursue their
research and writing at the FoundationÂ’s New York headquarters. The
Foundation annually awards up to 17 residential fellowships to select
scholars in the social sciences who are at least several years beyond
the Ph.D. Visiting Scholar positions begin September 1st and run through
June 30th. Scholars are provided with an office at the Foundation and
supplemental salary support of up to 50 percent of their academic year
salary (up to a maximum of $110,000). Scholars who reside outside the
greater New York City area are also provided with a partially-subsidized
apartment near the Foundation. /Applications for the 2016-2017 RSF
Visiting Scholar Fellowship are due by *_June 30, 2015_*/. A number of
changes to the program have recently occurred, such as allowing prior
scholars to return for a second visit. More detailed information on the
program, along with links to the application portal, eligibility
requirements and guidelines, and frequently asked questions can be found
here (

the program can be directed to Senior Program Officer James Wilson
