About The Brinson Prize Fellowship Program
The Space Telescope Science Institute is collaborating with The Brinson Foundation to support the Brinson Prize Fellowship program. These fellowships are awarded to early career astrophysicists and cosmologists who are committed to chasing bold ideas with creative, nimble, and innovative research. The fellowships support research in observational cosmology, in particular that which complements and capitalizes on space science, including topics such as the first stars, the cosmic distance scale, and the development of large-scale structure.
Brinson Fellowships are tenable at the U.S. institutions listed below here. The fellowship provides up to three years of support for independent research, including an annual research stipend.
