The Domestic Policy Studies Department at The Heritage Foundation
offers a fellowship open to Ph.D. candidates pursuing degrees
in the social sciences. Fellows have the opportunity to work closely
with social policy experts and to be involved in building familyfacts.org,
an online catalogue of social science findings on the family,
religious practice, and other social dynamics. Fellowship positions
are available in both Washington, D.C., and to students on their
own campuses. The fellowship enables doctoral candidates to review
the academic literature in an area of interest and to present
their review in forms useful to policymakers through the familyfacts.org
web site.
