The Smithsonian supports scholars through fellowships, research grants, and visiting researcher and internship opportunities that provide access to its collections, facilities, and expertise. These programs fund work in fields ranging from astrophysics, biology, and conservation to anthropology, history, and the arts.
Awards are made through competitive review and are generally aimed at predoctoral, postdoctoral, and senior scholars, with eligibility defined per program. Researchers and students can find current Smithsonian fellowships and deadlines on Atom.
