Hoover Institution director John Raisian has announced the recipients of the annual postdoctoral W. Glenn Campbell and Rita Ricardo-Campbell National Fellows Program for the 2005–6 academic year.
Recognized as one of the preeminent fellowships in the United States, the program, now completing its 33rd year, provides scholars an opportunity to spend one year at the Hoover Institution conducting independent research on current or historical public policy issues.
The national fellows use the release time from teaching to advance their professional careers by completing an original and significant research project at the Hoover Institution. The National Fellows Program has awarded nearly 400 fellowships to outstanding scholars from universities across the United States and Canada.
The program is administered by Hoover deputy director David Brady, serving as the program's executive secretary, assisted by Joy Kelley.
