To apply for NCIS membership, applicants must complete an application form and submit payment for at least one year of membership dues. Please click the link above to start your application process!

Application materials must be provided in English. Applications submitted without payment will not be processed. Fees and payment options are listed here.

Each application is normally reviewed within two weeks of its submission. The membership committee may request additional information. Applications will not be accepted if they do not reflect an appropriate level of research activity as an independent scholar or if the credentials provided cannot be verified.

If an application is not accepted, membership payment will be refunded in full. Likewise, if the application is for full membership but associate membership is appropriate, the difference will be refunded.

If you have any queries concerning membership in NCIS (including but not limited to applying, renewing, or payment), please email us at membership@ncis.org.
