The Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford (CASBS) is dedicated to advancing knowledge about human behavior and fostering contributions to society. The center does this through several programs, and primarily its residential fellowships. Other programs are special projects within the residential year, extended seminars involving groups of scholars who meet at the Center over two to three years, and summer institutes. For all these programs, CASBS identifies the most accomplished and promising scholars in the fields represented by the Center.
