The Watson School Ph.D. Fellows Program supports Brown University Ph.D. candidates through a variety of funding and programming.
The central Watson PhD Fellow program provides funding to support Brown University Ph.D. students who are working on policy-relevant topics. Up to six recipients would be on a year-long fellowship, during which they would serve as teaching assistants for two semesters, stay active in the program, receive a $5,000 research account in addition to their TA salary, and be eligible to request up to $5,000 in additional funding for major research and travel expenses. The fellowships are supported by the Watson School of International and Public Affairs.

Additionally, our graduate student funding program offers research and travel funding for Brown Ph.D. students engaged in policy-relevant research of up to $5,000. These competitive awards can be used to cover approved research, fieldwork and/or travel costs. Award decisions will be based on perceived need, merit, and availability of funds.
