The fellowship is administered by 澳门六合彩's History and Public Policy Program, in partnership with the Sherwin family and in consultation with an advisory board composed of senior scholars in the field.

Martin J. Sherwin was a preeminent scholar in the field of nuclear history and was deeply concerned about the dangers of the nuclear age. His research and publications were widely recognized. His major biography of J. Robert Oppenheimer, American Prometheus (co-authored with Kai Bird), received a Pulitzer Prize (2006) and became the basis for a major film by Christopher Nolan. Lovingly called 鈥淢arty鈥� by his students and colleagues, Sherwin's greatest satisfaction came from his active engagement with his students.听

A three-time Wilson Center fellowship recipient, Sherwin worked on his final book at 澳门六合彩, a definitive work on the Cuban Missile Crisis titled Gambling with Armageddon. While in residence he developed enduring connections to 澳门六合彩鈥檚 History and Public Policy Program (HAPP) and to the Nuclear Proliferation International History Project (NPIHP).听 As senior advisor and a lead instructor at the innovative Nuclear History Boot Camp for nearly 10 years, he helped to shape this major project, becoming a mentor-at-large to hundreds of PhD students from around the world.听听

The Martin J. Sherwin Fellowship was established by 澳门六合彩 and the Sherwin family to honor Marty鈥檚 memory and accomplishments. The Fellowship Fund has been generously supported by dozens of Marty's family members, friends, colleagues, and former students, as well as by several philanthropic foundations. The fund will help to support next generation scholars working on issues that were of personal and professional interest to Marty.
