Become A Fellow
Research
Fellows are open to research any topic that they wish, as long as it relates to policy, politics, law, or the economy. The charter of the institution creates a wide definition of these topics, so fellows are free to pursue any type and any subject of research.
​
Fellows are expected to publish their work on news sites, academic journals or the Los Altos Institution website. Although the commitment for fellows is low, they are expected to publish at least once in their one year term.
