About The Fellowship

Siegel Family Endowment is proud to introduce our third cohort of Partner Research Fellows.

Selected by leading institutions that have received support from our grantmaking, the fellows explore instrumental research questions underpinning our grantmaking while bolstering our in-house research capabilities. The fellows participate in research projects with support from the foundation through research seminars, hosting events, and sharing content that sheds light on their work and interest areas with our larger community. Follow along on our Research Insights page and the fellows’ social channels.

Current Fellows

Siegel Family Endowment is happy to introduce the 2023-2024 cohort of researchers, academics, and public policy experts who make up the foundation’s Siegel Research Fellows Program. Selected by leading institutions included in our research grants portfolio, these individuals will conduct research broadly at the intersection of social science and technology, with a focus on questions around intelligence, information, innovation, development, decisions and design.

As compared to last year’s cohort, we have continued to expand this year’s group of host institutions to include not only academia, but also think tanks and other non academic centers. We are especially excited to include a creative research fellow as well as a fellow hosted at a HBCU. We anticipate that this cohort will further enrich the research contributions of the foundation, while also advancing the research goals of the fellows and broadening the audience for their discoveries and insights. Throughout the year, fellows will participate in core activities, including monthly research seminars, events hosted by the fellows and their respective host institutions, collaborative content creation focusing on engaging non-academic audiences, and an in-person networking event. John Irons, Senior Vice President and Head of Research, will continue to oversee the program with support from Siegel’s research team.
