Research clusters at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study use the Radcliffe Fellowship Program to draw together scholars to focus on particular themes. A research cluster might have a longer life than a one-year fellowship, but it always includes a year when the scholars in the cluster are in residence at the Institute together. During the residential year, fellowship applicants with similar interests are encouraged to apply and to indicate the way in which their project will contribute to the topic.

Previous cluster groups have examined evolution of career and family trajectories among highly educated men and women, new logical foundations for theoretical linguistics, unconscious prejudice and the law, and the social and political impact of immigration on the US and Western Europe.
