The USC Shoah Foundation Robert J. Katz Research Fellowship in Genocide Studies enables an advanced standing PhD candidate to spend up to a month in residence at the Center every year. This fellowship is named after long-time volunteer and former Board of Councilors Chair Robert J. Katz in recognition of his service to the Institute. Award decisions for this fellowship will be based on the originality of the research proposal and its potential to advance research with testimonies in the Visual History Archive.
