Research Opportunities

Conference and Workshop Program

The HCBSS occasionally entertains proposals from scholars at Stanford or other institutions to organize and host academic events at Stanford, for which the Center can provide facilities, staff support, and limited funding.

Doctoral Fellows Program

Students enrolled at US universities and institutions that have an exchange agreement with Stanford may apply for a visiting appointment to take courses and conduct research at Stanford. The HCBSS cannot grant visiting appointments to students from institutions that do not have such an exchange agreement.

Graduate students enrolled at these universities may take advantage of the Exchange Scholar Program: University of California at Berkeley, University of California at San Francisco, Brown University, University of Chicago, Columbia University, Cornell University, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Princeton University, University of Pennsylvania, and Yale University. See Stanford Exchange Program for Students.
