This directory contains information on Ford Foundation Postdoctoral fellowship recipients awarded since 1980 and Ford Foundation Predoctoral and Dissertation fellowship recipients awarded since 1986.

The directory was created to serve as a resource for university officials seeking to diversify their faculty, minority students looking for mentors and role models, and scholars interested in establishing collaborative projects.

This database does not include Ford Fellows whose fellowships were administered by an institution or agency other than the NRC nor does it include deceased Ford Fellows. In no way does the omission of those names indicate a lack of awareness of their contributions to their disciplines and to academe.
