Visiting Scholar Program

Our visiting scholars help the Institute and the Federal Reserve engage with cutting-edge research on myriad questions related to opportunity and inclusive growth. Their visits provide our staff with a more complete perspective on how the economy performs for the full spectrum of Americans.

The Institute annually invites scholars to pursue research while in residence at the Minneapolis Fed. Those who have demonstrated an ability to conduct high-level, peer-reviewed research are selected based on a proposal related to the Institute’s mission. We hold the application process for the next cohort each winter and welcome applications for visits of any length.
