Brinson Prize Fellowship

Open to all areas of astronomy and astrophysics, but with a focus on supporting research in observational cosmology, particularly complementing and capitalizing on space science, including topics such as the first stars, the cosmic distance scale, and the development of large-scale structure. The Brinson Prize Fellowship can be taken to one of four institutions: California Institution of Technology, University of Chicago, Princeton University, and Stanford University.

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 focus on supporting research in observational cosmology, particularly complementing and capitalizing 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 participating U.S. host institutions. The fellowship provides up to three years of support for independent research, including an annual research stipend.
