The Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program is a special project of the Carnegie Corporation of New York to help find solutions to a national problem. Established in 2015, the award supports research in the social sciences and humanities that address important and enduring issues confronting our society. After a one-year pause in 2022, the 2024 Class of Andrew Carnegie Fellows marks the start of the program’s focus on developing a body of research around political polarization in the United States.

Background[edit]

The Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program was created to develop a body of research around today’s growing political polarization. Under the direction of Dame Louise Richardson, the Corporation will commit up to $6 million annually to the program for at least the next three years.[1][2]

Criteria and selection process[edit]

The criteria for their selection prioritized the originality and potential impact of the proposal, as well as the capacity to communicate the findings to a broad audience. The fellows were selected by a distinguished panel of jurors, chaired by John J. DeGioia, president of Georgetown University, and comprised of scholars and academic and intellectual leaders from some of the nation’s most prominent educational institutions, foundations, and scholarly societies.[3][4]
