SIAS members were founded explicitly to follow the Princeton model (with certain variations – not all maintain a permanent faculty, for instance), and place an emphasis on granting one-year fellowships. The SIAS consortium has stated several conditions any candidate institution should fulfill in order to be accepted as a new member:

• “It should be a true place for advanced study in terms of a commitment to the highest standards of scholarship”,
• “It must offer a genuine and competitive fellowship programme – and, one may add, a programme where each individual candidate is subjected to a thorough assessment, not just accepted as part of a thematic group of scholars or selected by the convener of such a group”,
• “Its funding should be stable enough to ensure that it will continue to operate into the foreseeable future”, and
• “The institution should be part of the academic system but be independent and not be narrowly directed by any single university, or by any commercial enterprise or government department”.
