As a part of PRRI's Religion and Renewing Democracy Initiative, the organization is seeking applicants whose research agendas align with one of four principal vectors of PRRI's ongoing work: 1) religious, racial, and ethnic pluralism; 2) racial justice and white supremacy; 3) immigration and migration studies; and 4) LGBTQ rights. In each area of scholarship, PRRI will select four Public Fellows.

1.    An annual stipend of $5,000/year and course release funds up to $10,000 for the spring 2024 semester.
2.    Access to annual microgrants of $12,000 in each area of PRRI's work for collaborative scholarly projects within the cohort.
3.    Advance access to PRRI data, as well as various training opportunities to support public scholarship.

Application requirements:
1.    Fellows must have a Ph.D. or comparable terminal degree plus a formal affiliation with an accredited college, university, seminary, or research institute in the United States.
2.    Fellows must have earned their terminal degree at least three years ago and no more than 12 years ago.
3.    Fellows should have demonstrable academic expertise in at least one of the four areas of PRRI's work (see above).
