The fellowship period is September 1 through June 30.
The foundation annually awards up to 17 residential fellowships. Visiting scholars must be at least two years beyond their PhD at the time of application and, once selected, typically work on projects related to the foundation’s core programs and special initiatives.
Scholars are provided with an office at the foundation, computers and software, library access, and supplemental salary support. Scholars from outside NYC are provided with a partially subsidized apartment near the foundation.
Questions should be directed to James Wilson, program director.

These positions do not come with any financial support and are available for visits up to five months between September 1 and June 30, as space permits.
Visiting researchers are provided with an office at the foundation, computers and software, and library access. Applicants from outside the greater NYC area may be provided with a partially subsidized apartment near RSF, if available.
Visiting researchers must be several years beyond their PhD and have a project relevant to the foundation’s program areas.

Grants are available for research assistance, data acquisition, data analysis, and investigator time for conducting research and writing results.
A detailed letter of inquiry must precede a full proposal. About 15 percent of investigators who submit letters are invited based on external reviews to submit proposals.
