Hoover Fellows

Hoover's core strength is its exceptional scholars, some esteemed generalists, capable of addressing broad policy applications, others for their expertise in specific areas of public policy. A research-based approach to scholarship is the common denominator among this highly distinguished community of fellows actively advancing public policy interests to promote free markets, limited government, and individual freedom.
