Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences

"Since the Ford Foundation started it in 1954, the exclusive Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences has offered leading behavioral and social scientists freedom from teaching and other academic obligations, as well as a quiet place to reflect and write. But in recent years, the center has attracted fewer big-name scholars and produced fewer high-impact works. Stanford University took over the center in 2008 and recruited Stephen Kosslyn as director to shake things up."
