==Other Institutes for Advanced Study== The IAS in Princeton is widely recognized as the world's first Institute for Advanced Study.<ref name="Reisz"/> Despite later imitators of the institute's model, it took years before any similar institutions were founded. The Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford was the first such spinoff in 1954. This was followed by the National Humanities Center founded in North Carolina in 1978.<ref>Reisz. "The Princeton IAS proved a hard act to follow. It was not until 1954 that a similar institute was founded."</ref> These two institutions eventually became the core of a consortium known as ''[[Some Institutes for Advanced Study|Some Institutes for Advanced Study (SIAS)]]''. The SIAS consortium includes the original institute in Princeton and nine other institutes founded explicitly to emulate the model of the original IAS. These ten Institutes for Advanced Study are:<ref name=Wittrock1910/><ref>[http://www.huji.ac.il/cgi-bin/dovrut/dovrut_search_eng.pl?mesge118450249532688760%7CMedia Hebrew U.
