The aim of this fellowship is to introduce graduate students, scholars, and practitioners to how the Austrian, Virginia, and Bloomington schools of political economy address questions regarding institutions, progress, governance, epistemology, the theory of the mind, and philosophy of science.
Exploring these questions is particularly relevant for assessing the potential and limitations of artificial intelligence and other such emerging technologies. Oskar Morgenstern Fellows meet for three weekends during the academic year participating in online seminar discussion-style colloquia on these themes of political economy.
Fellows will join a network of Mercatus students, alumni, and scholars who are conducting and engaging with cutting edge research in contemporary political economy. Current Oskar Morgenstern FellowsAlumni of the Oskar Morgenstern Fellowship ## Have more questions? [](https://www.

Who was Oskar Morgenstern? Most well-known for his central role in the application of mathematics to economics alongside John von Neumann known as game theory, Oskar Morgenstern earned his PhD in political science from the University of Vienna in 1925 and trained under some of the earliest scholars of the Austrian tradition of economics – Friedrich von Wieser, Hans Mayer and Ludwig von Mises. In 1931, Morgenstern succeeded F.
A. Hayek as the director of the Austrian Institute for Economic Research (which Hayek founded with Mises, and still exists today) when Hayek accepted a position with the London School of Economics. In 1935, he became a professor of economics at the University of Vienna and was an active participant in Karl Menger’s “Vienna Colloquium.
” When Austria was annexed by Germany during his lecture tour in the United States, he became a professor of economics at Princeton University. In 1970, he joined the faculty at New York University. 13.

OMB's proposed rewrite of 2 CFR Part 200 would convert the Uniform Guidance from guidance into binding, force-of-law regulation — adding discretionary termination authority, mandatory political-appointee review before award, DEI and foreign-collaboration prohibitions, and the elimination of fixed-amount awards. The comment period closed with 496,769 submissions, roughly 95% opposed. The targeted effective date is October 1, 2026. This is a full breakdown of what changes, who is exposed, and the concrete moves nonprofits and universities should make in the next 75 days.
Read articleJohns Hopkins is committing $60 million a year to a new Research Resilience Fund for faculty hit by federal grant terminations and delays — and it is not alone. As termination-for-convenience authority expands under the 2026 OMB rules, institutional bridge funding is becoming a structural feature of the research economy. Here is what these funds actually cover, why they are not a substitute for federal money, and how researchers should think about diversifying before the call comes.
