Levin Center seeks applications for oversight fellowship
The Levin Center for Oversight and Democracy at Wayne State University Law School pleased to announce that it is seeking applicants for its Elise J. Bean Oversight Fellowship Program to encourage scholarly research on oversight investigations conducted by Congress or the 50 state legislatures and related topics.
The Levin Center seeks to promote research on oversight by legislative bodies with the ultimate goal of fostering high-quality fact-finding and oversight investigations that are not captive to partisan interests. This fellowship program is established to encourage scholars early in their careers, including post-doctoral students and professors, to conduct research and produce papers with useful research results related to oversight by legislators.
For 2026/27, the fellowship offers $10,000 to support one non-resident scholar to conduct research and produce a scholarly paper on issues related to congressional or state-level oversight.
There are no teaching obligations. Funding may be used to compensate the scholar’s work and defray research expenses related to, for example, obtaining research data, engaging in travel, or hiring an assistant. No indirect costs can be covered through the fellowship.
Funds will be paid out in two installments over the 12 month period.
The Fellow must agree to present the resulting research paper at an event sponsored by the Levin Center and for the paper and event to be promoted through academic channels, including the Levin Center for Oversight and Democracy’s website and list-serves.
The Levin Center may offer an opportunity to publish the paper in a law review or journal sponsored by Wayne State University Law School.
To apply, visit https://levin-center.org/levin-center-at-work/awards/oversightscholars-fellowship. Applications will close on January 31, 2026.
