The William R. Rhodes Center for International Economics and Finance

Funding Opportunities

Funding Opportunities

The William R. Rhodes Center for International Economics and Finance is pleased to offer a number of funding opportunities in support of Brown student and faculty research, visiting faculty research, research workshops, and collaborative activities with external institutions.

Fellowships

Simmons Visiting Fellow Program

This program provides supplementary funding to help faculty from other institutions come to the Rhodes Center for research leave. Applicant's research should have an interdisciplinary focus and have a clear rationale for why being based at the Rhodes Center is germane to that research. Applications are continuous and are examined by the Rhodes Center Board reviewed on a rolling basis. Applications should take the form of a short (no more than two pages) description of the sabbatical research project and a CV and should be sent to the Rhodes Center director at sebnem_kalemli-ozcan@brown.edu and the Rhodes Center assistant director at jenna_davis1@brown.edu.
