The Just Tech Fellowship 2027 -- Applications due June 28, 2026
https://www.ssrc.org/programs/
The Social Science Research Council invites proposals from researchers working at the intersection of technology and society for the Just Tech Fellowship.
The Just Tech Fellowship supports rigorous, original, and community-grounded work that addresses pressing questions about how technology shapes society and public life. The program is designed for researchers, artists, and practitioners whose work advances thoughtful, practical, and imaginative approaches to how technology is designed, governed, and experienced in public life.
The fellowship welcomes applicants from a wide range of fields, methods, and career paths. Just Tech Fellows include artists, journalists, community-based researchers, social scientists, humanists, technologists, and others whose work expands public understanding of technology and contributes to more informed and accountable technological futures.
What the Fellowship Provides
The Just Tech Fellowship provides a one-year unrestricted award of up to $60,000 to support research, creative practice, or community-engaged work. The fellowship period runs from January 2027 through December 2027 and is designed to provide fellows with the resources and flexibility to advance ambitious projects at the intersection of technology and society.
The program includes monthly virtual gatherings, individualized mentoring, and one in-person workshop that brings fellows together for focused exchange and collaboration. Fellows engage with peers, external partners, and members of the broader Just Tech network, fostering sustained intellectual and professional connections.
In addition to the primary award, fellows may apply for seed funding to support collaborative projects within or across Just Tech cohorts. Participation in the fellowship also provides ongoing access to the Just Tech network beyond the award year.
