Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellowship Program
National Endowment for Democracy
Deadline: November 1, 2007
Description:
The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) invites applications from across Latin America and the Caribbean to its Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellows Program. Established in 2001 to enable democracy practitioners and scholars from around the world to deepen their understanding of democracy and enhance their ability to promote democratic change, the program is based at NED’s International Forum for Democratic Studies, in Washington, D.C.
The program offers five-month fellowships for democracy practitioners to improve strategies and techniques for building democracy abroad; and five- to ten-month fellowships for scholars to conduct original research for publication. Fellowship projects may focus on the political, social, economic, legal, and cultural aspects of democratic development and may include a range of methodologies and approaches.
The fellowship program is intended primarily to support practitioners and scholars from new and aspiring democracies. Distinguished scholars from the United States and other established democracies are also eligible to apply. Practitioners are expected to have substantial experience working to promote democracy. Scholars are expected to have a doctorate, or academic equivalent, at the time of application. The program does not pay for professional training or offer compensation to students working toward a degree.
A working knowledge of English is required.
The fellowship year extends from October 1 through July 31, with major entry dates in October and March. All fellows receive a monthly stipend, health insurance, travel assistance, and research support.
Application materials may be downloaded at www.ned.org/forum/R-FApplication.pdf.
Applications for fellowships in 2008–2009 must be received no later than November 1, 2007. Notification of the competition outcome is in April 2008.
