BOFITin tutkimustoimintaa vahvistaa osaltaan Research Fellow -tutkijoiden käyttö. Research fellow -tutkijat ovat kansainvälisiä, asemansa vakiinnuttaneita akateemisia tutkijoita. He tekevät tutkimustyötä pankin tutkimuksen painopistealueella, julkaisevat tutkimustuloksiaan ja edistävät verkostoitumista lähinnä ulkopuolisten akateemisten tutkijoiden kanssa. Toimet ovat määräaikaisia ja tavallisesti muodostuvat useista vierailujaksoista.
